Can't answer for "buddy s", but I think -cp is clearly superior.

But if someone really wanted to set the CLASSPATH environment variable 
in a Windows .bat batch file, they can easily do so without affecting 
other Java programs as long as the batch file itself runs only the one 
Java program and either a) the batch file itself is run in a non-shared 
environment (e.g. by double-clicking a link to the batch file itself, 
which will create a new console window just for that batch file), or b) 
including the "setlocal" statement at the beginning of the batch file, 
so that any changes to the environment are not preserved once the batch 
file ends.
