Exception in thread  main  java lang NoClassDefFoundError     One of the places java tries to find your  class file is your current directory  So if your  class file is in C  java  you should change your current directory to that     To change your directory  type the following command at the prompt and press Enter   cd c  java     This    tells java that your classpath is your local directory   Executing your program using this command should correct the problem  java -classpath   HelloWorld

The Problem here is the setting the environment and the running of the class file  a  To set the environment path run the following command  set path C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 7 0 bin b  run the program from the package like com test TestJavaClass  Command  java com test TestJavaClass  The general issue here is we run it either from inside the package like src package name  We should not include src  package name is enough

Your CLASSPATH needs to know of the location of your HelloWorld class also    In simple terms you should append dot    means current directory  in the CLASSPATH if you are running javac and java commands from DOS prompt

Run it like this   java -jar HelloWorld jar

I found one another common reason  If you create the java file inside a package using IDE like eclipse  you will find the package name on the top of your java file like  package pkgName   If you try to run this file from command prompt  you will get the NoClassDefFoundError  error  Remove the package name from the java file and use the commands in the command prompt  Wasted 3 hours for this  -- Abhi

The javadoc of NoClassDefFounError itself would be a good start  here   and then I ll suggest you clean and rebuild your project

Add the jar in your classpath  For example  if you have NoClassDefFoundError for class XXXXXX  get the jar containing the class and add it to your classpath manually  It works for me  Hopefully it will work for you as well

See http   scottizu wordpress com 2013 08 28 fixing-the-exception-in-thread-main-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-in-eclipse    This is the long form of the Java commands that can be run from a Windows command prompt    C  Program Files Java jdk1 6 0 18 bin javac exe  -classpath  C  Users Scott workspace myproject  com mycompany myapp HelloWorld java  C  Program Files Java jdk1 6 0 18 bin java exe  -classpath  C  Users Scott workspace myproject  com mycompany myapp HelloWorld    These commands can be run from any directory  meaning you don t have to be in the directory where your HelloWorld java file is  The first line compiles your HelloWorld java file  creating a HelloWorld class file    The second line runs the HelloWorld class file  The -classpath tells java where to look for the specified file in each command The Java compiler  javac exe  expects the location of the java file  relative to the classpath  ie the file is located at C  Users Scott workspace myproject com mycompany myapp HelloWorld java  Java  java exe  expects the package  ie com mycompany myapp  and class  HelloWorld   relative to the classpath  ie the file is located at C  Users Scott workspace myproject com mycompany myapp HelloWorld class    Notice the classpath has no slash at the end   The javac exe commands expects the file to end with   java    The java exe command expects the full class name and does not end with   class    There are a few ways to simplify these commands    You don t have to specify the entire path to java exe   Add Java to the Windows Path  Run- sysdm cpl- Advanced Tab- Environment Variables- Select Path- Edit- Append   C  Program Files Java jdk1 6 0 18 bin      Or you can append JAVA HOME and create that Environment Variable  You don t have to enter the entire classpath  ie  you can just use -classpath        Enter the directory you will be working in   cd  C  Users Scott workspace myproject   You can use the default package  put the HelloWorld java file directory in your working directory and don t use the Java package directive    If you make these changes you would run something like this  and you might be able to leave out -classpath        cd  C  Users Scott workspace myproject   javac -classpath     HelloWorld java java -classpath     HelloWorld
