Java command line

Hello to everyone,

I decided to post this thread in this forum and not in Eclipse because I am new to Java and this question is technically not an eclipse one

So here is the question:

I compile and run this program in Eclipse and it works perfect.

I am trying to incorporate it in another application by means of a comand line interface ... the application has means of sending a command to a cmd command
interpreter and executing it. When I try and test this on the command line I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: myclass (wrong name: com/example/java/swiss/myclass)

I thought this could be due to my environment not being set-up correctly. So added the following to my CLASSPATH and PATH:

PATH
C:\Work\Java Work Space\src\com\example\java\swiss;C:\Work\Java Work Space

CLASSPATH
C:\Work\Java Work Space\TonerWebService\lib; <==== where the class (in a jar file) my program is calling is located
C:\Work\Java Work Space\TonerWebService\lib\com.example.java.swiss.H ttpConnection.jar; <==== the jar itself
C:\Work\Java Work Space\TonerWebService\classes\com\example\java\swi ss <==== where the compiled class (main) is located

I also tried the following and get the same error.

Java -cp "C:\Work\Java Work Space\TonerWebService\lib;C:\Work\Java Work Space\TonerWebService\lib\com.example.java.swiss.H ttpConnection.jar" myclass

I also included -jar "<PATH TO JAR>" but without success.

Do you have any idea as to where I am going wrong? Is there anything I am missing???

Is there any where in Eclipse you can capture the java command line that the IDE executes to run myclass .. perhaps some log file or a way that this command line can be generated within the IDE??

thanks
Agouzoul

Classpath is the path to where your JDK instalation can be found. Not the working folder. Something like this,

Quote:

c:\programme\jboss\lib;
c:\programme\j2sdk1.4.2_08\lib;
c:\programme\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib; .........

Many thanks Eranga...

My class path already has the followings but did not incluce them in my previous pot:

C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre1.5.0_08\lib;
C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin

So yes I have the path to the JRE included as well and get the same error.
