java in cmd line :(

[Joe2003]

Hey

im trying to write some build scripts for a java project. Anyway, it HAS to be in MS which has lead me through the pain of batch scripts.

Anyway, if I do this:-

java Main

the program runs fine, however if I move up a dirrectory level and execute the command like this:-

java classes\Main

it comes up with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

anyone know why, and how to sort it?

thanks

Joe

It is about the Java classpath. Classpath is where the java program will try to find your class. In this case excute the java command with the -classpath options set to tell java where you classes are located.

Hello Java2003.

I have created two examples for another member who had the same problems as you. Study the thread and attachments and then things should be easier for you. ;)

Good luck. :D
