To run the sample executable jar from a command line, go to the folder in which you unzipped the sample (see attachment below) and enter the following command:
Windows
> java -cp .;JStandardSamples.jar;lib/* QuoteManager.Level1QuoteRequest.Main
[-h <host>] -u <username> -p <password> [-m <mode> -s <symbol>]
Linux
$ java -cp .:JStandardSamples.jar:lib/* QuoteManager.Level1QuoteRequest.Main
[-h <host>] -u <username> -p <password> [-m <mode> -s <symbol>]
where:
