SUMMARY

Running clspack /auto or clspack /dump as mentioned in the SDK for Java documentation gives a syntax message instead of creating a Classes.zip file or writing to the specified output file.

MORE INFORMATION

The clspack utility does not process the slash character, you should use a dash character. Use -auto instead of /auto, and -dump instead of /dump.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

If you run clspack /auto from the command-line it puts up message box as follows: 
Usage:clspack<ZipFile> <PackageListFile>
or: clspack -dump <PackageListFile> to create a file listing all system
   packages
or: clspack -auto to place all packages in
    %windir%\java\classes\classes.zip
The correct usage is clspack -auto, which will create the Classes.zip file.
