In essence, your jar file execution is the exact same thing, if I understand the
original problem correctly (need to execute main() in a class loaded into a java
vm on the command line). Simply take your syntax, remove the java flag -jar, and
chunk in a fully qualified path name e.g.:
`java cap

exec "/usr/java/bin/java" "qualified.class.name" "$arg1" ...
