Yes, yes.

There's a reason Rob bundled AppleCommander into an executable on
Windows and an app on Mac.  And there's a reason why I hide the Java
command line of ADTPro behind a script for Unix-alikes.  It's
complicated.

First, give full qualification to the jars you need.  The classpath,
or -cp command line switch will do that for you:

-cp /usr/lib/java/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar:/wherever/AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar

But then you also need to pull the main class out of the manifest;
that is: com.webcodepro.applecommander.ui.AppleCommander

Then, there are some native libraries for SWT too, aren't there?
There are on Windows and Mac.  For those, you need to give the -
Djava.library.path= command line switch, and point to those, too.

So I can get you as far as that - there's still the issue of 64-bit
SWT native libraries, which I trust you know where are.  A full
invocation might look like this:

java -Djava.library.path=/path/to/SWT/jnilibs -cp /usr/lib/java/swt-
gtk-3.5.1.jar:/wherever/AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar
com.webcodepro.applecommander.ui.AppleCommander -swt

(I'm unsure if the -swt switch is passed in - or if Java will consume
it.)
