What does the colon(:) mean?

Hi,

I'm running DDS Java example with;

"java -classpath $OSPL_HOME/jar/dcpssaj.jar:classes HelloWorldDataPublisher"

command.

I know the classpath part well but what does the ":" (colon sign) mean in the middle of the command?

The folder I'm running this example has a folder named "classes" in it and there is a HelloWorldDataPublisher.class file in the classes folder.

I searched about it and read the java docs but can't find anything.

Thanks.
