Hello All,

I am new to Java and I have a very simple question.I have a program which is calling the method in a .jar file.At complie time it gets compiled successfully.
However at runtime I get an error while trying to invoke the method in tha jar.
Error string is
Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFounderror
at com.abc.edit.setBy

Name of the method is setBy .Please note below things have already been checked
1)JAR files is added in the project
2)It is being reflected in .classpath file


Any pointers?

Thanks,
Rohit

How are you running this?
Because that error implies that jar file is not on your runtime classpath.
