Hi Guillaume!

Glad to hear Java Universe is helpful to you.  Unfortunately, at first 
blush, it indeed looks like you need to list all the jar files.

When you specify jar_files, HTCondor adds those files to 
transfer_input_files if you are not on a shared file system. 
transfer_input_files does support directories; however, the 
condor_starter on the execute machine also uses the jar_files parameter 
when launching the JVM, and it appears that the condor_starter does not 
understand directories or wild cards.

regards,
Todd
