sorry i am late to the question  but i will explain it to you in the simplest layman language  When you type  javac  lt programname java gt  The compiler checks the program and finds errors  first of all make sure your program is in the same directory as you have executed in the command prompt  Then it creates a  Class file of your program  For ex  If the name of my program was Test java then the class file created should be Test class which will be executed in the next line  Sometimes java takes some other name for your  class  use that name and voila you ll get the output

A classpath is a list of locations to load classes from    These  locations  can either be directories  or jar files    For directories  the JVM will follow an expected pattern for loading a class  If I have the directory C  myproject classes in my classpath  and I attempt to load a class com mycompany Foo  it will look under the classes directory for a directory called com  then under that a directory called mycompany  and finally it will look for a file called Foo class in that directory   In the second instance  for jar files  it will search the jar file for that class  A jar file is in reality just a zipped collection of directories like the above  If you unzip a jar file  you ll get a bunch of directories and class files following the pattern above    So the JVM traverses a classpath from start to finish looking for the definition of the class when it attempts to load the class definition  For example  in the classpath    C  myproject classes C  myproject lib stuff jar C  myproject lib otherstuff jar  The JVM will attempt to look in the directory classes first  then in stuff jar and finally in otherstuff jar   When you get a ClassNotFoundException  it means the JVM has traversed the entire classpath and not found the class you ve attempted to reference  The solution  as so often in the Java world  is to check your classpath   You define a classpath on the command line by saying java -cp and then your classpath  In an IDE such as Eclipse  you ll have a menu option to specify your classpath

It could happen if your classpath is not correct   Let us posit a serializable class and deserializable class under same projectname  You run the serializable class  creating a serializable object in specific folder  Now you need the desearialized data  In the meantime  if you change the name of the project it will not work  You have to run the serializable class first and then deserialize the file

This is the best solution I found so far   Suppose we have a package called org mypackage containing the classes    HelloWorld  main class    SupportClass  UtilClass   and the files defining this package are stored physically under the directory D  myprogram  on Windows  or  home user myprogram  on Linux    The file structure will look like this    When we invoke Java  we specify the name of the application to run  org mypackage HelloWorld  However we must also tell Java where to look for the files and directories defining our package  So to launch the program  we have to use the following command       NOTE  You have to execute the above java command no matter what your current location is  But this is not the case for javac  For   compiling you can even directly go into the directory where you have   your  java files and directly execute javac ClassName java
