How do you test code that uses classpath vs module path?

Testing code that uses classpath vs module path requires understanding the structure and organization of your Java application. The classpath is a parameter that tells the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Java compiler where to find user-defined classes and packages in Java programs, while the module path is used with the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java 9. Below is an example demonstrating how to set up both paths for testing purposes in a Java project.

// Example Java code to demonstrate classpath and module path usage in testing // Using classpath javac -cp . Main.java java -cp . Main // Using module path javac -d out --module-source-path src -m mymodule/main java --module-path out -m mymodule/main
