carl is on a distinguished road
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Hi, I'm on a WinXP PC and got java installed in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06
I've set the PATH environment variable to point to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin
I'm getting an error message all the time when trying to run my classes:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyClass
I suspect this is coming from not setting the CLASSPATH.
Where should the CLASSPATH point to?
Thanks

This should be in the FAQ. No disrespect to you Carl. Every new Java user hits this one.
If you compile a class MyClass.java in the current directory and then want to run it, try the following:
>java -cp . MyClass

The "-cp ." is the key here. It tells Java to add the current directory to the classpath when running.

The other reason for this error is that your class file is myclass.java instead of MyClass.java. Java - unlike windows - is very picky about the case of the files.

In environment variable try this
PATH C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin

Otherwise try to compile from command prompt and set
CLASS PATH = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin

Make sure in command prompt your in source directory or not?
