Even adding a '-classpath xmpcore.jar' doesn't work, since the Java doc says

"When you use this option [-jar], the JAR file is the source of all user 
classes, and other user class path settings are ignored."

This is easily solved by adding a line

"Class-Path: xmpcore.jar"

in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file. The 'xmpcore.jar' file then needs to be in 
the same folder as the main metadata-extractor jar.

The provided MANIFEST.MF should specify this line, to easy the job of 
beginners/testers of the lib.
