Java: Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Posted by David Kirk in Java programming
Common error that beginning java authors may experience.
- Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
You try to run a little java program and you get this blasted error. I first got this error when running our little hello world program.
This occurs because the classpath is not setup or referenced correctly.
Executing your program using this command should correct the problem:
java -classpath . helloworld
where helloworld is the name of your compiled class.
This tells java that your classpath is your local directory.

the classpath should include the directory in which u r keeping ur own class files.

by default CLASSPATH is always current directory. Setting up CLASSPATH variable explicetely overrides this value

I got this error in my eclipse. I found there was class file getting generated for the project. Reason was no default java builder defined for the project.Opened the .project file and added the default java builder definition. Now it works fine

if u have stored ur classes in the directory other than JDK installed…we need to set path to the bin dir by using
set path=…..
and for classes
set classpath=….

I am using JGrasp as a new Java learner and I hate it. The errors given when compiled to vague. Can anyone suggest a better application to begin learning and developing in?
December 12, 2008 at 7:44 am, FrederikNS said:
the errors are thrown by the Sun Java Compiler, and that doesn’t differ regardless of which developer environment you try to program in, as long as it’s java, you’ll have to stick with it.
But some of the best environment to program java in would have to be Eclipse or NetBeans.
They have an awful lot of features, and is very easy to use when you get over the initial general troubles, such as which features to use, and getting an overview of all the stuff they can do.

Here is how i fixed mine.
The .Java and the .Class file is located in C:Java . i got the above error and changed directory at the dos prompt by typing
cd Java (Enter)
Then I compiled by typing the below

like java -classpath[space].[space]m

February 26, 2009 at 7:22 pm, Gary Lesperance said:
I had the same problem but your suggestion above did not work. You missed the most obvious problem which is that Java is case sensitive. If you reference the class as Helloworld in the script and then try to run it using java -classpath . helloworld (with the file actually named helloworld.class) then you will get the same error referenced above. The problem is the upper case “H” in the script and then the file starting with a lower case “h”.

hi guys,
I got this error when i made the mistake of running the class file. Make sure you are running the job correctly (fyi, I’m running vista):
Correct: C:UsersCrimsonteaching> java Example
Incorrect: C:UsersCrimsonteaching> java Example.class
This is really easy to forget about, especially if you’re used to using an IDE like Eclipse, which was the case for me. I scratched my head for a little while and feel really dumb now.

Thanks sooo much. if the java – classpath . helloworld doesnt work it is probably due to spacing and upper lower case letter problem.
for me i didnt put a space after java and a space either side of the full stop. and i forgot to write my class with an upper case letter which is how it was saved.
java(space) -classpath(space) . (space)Welcome1

!!ALERT!! !!ALERT!!
I just followed every suggestion in this string and no dice…
FINALLY I GOT IT —-> (on Windows XP) MAKE SURE YOU COMPILE YOUR PROGRAM WITH C:…javac ClassName.java before you try to execute with C:…java ClassName
You will know your program is compiled when you find a ClassName.class file in the same folder as your original ClassName.java program.
Hope this helps the last desperate few.
And yes, of course, make sure your path and classpath are correctly configured.

You will also get this error if you append the .class designator when you try to run it. as
java HelloWorld.class
java is expecting a class so the .class suffix is not necessary
of course your class path might be wrong also

For a beginner you may get this error also if you run:

Okay, here’s the mistake I made (which almost drove me crazy):
set classpath = .;M:;C:Program FilesJavajre1.6.0_14bin;
is NOT the same as:
set classpath=.;M:;C:Program FilesJavajre1.6.0_14bin;
If you put spaces around the ‘=’ it won’t work. The file would always compile but would only run without the package designation. As soon as I added the ‘package’ statement at the top I could compile it but it would always give the above error when I tried to run it. Hope this helps someone.

I just started learning java using the Eclipse IDE. My java for idiots book (ok for dummies) gave me some code that uses swing to produce a message box. There are 2 classes (the book is demonstrating objects).
It ran fine from within eclipse, but if I tried running it from a command line it wouldn’t work. I got the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
I’ve searched the net and tried the -classpath . approach and still had no joy.
I then found a post here
http://bytes.com/topic/java/answers/15627-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror#post63668
which refers to the package name as being an issue. I tried following the instructions but still had the issue. Eventually I removed the package definition from both my source files, recompiled and it runs fine. No classpath definition needed.
Cheers

yes.. a dot .. it means, that it will search for classes bytecode in the current directory !
you can also tell java to search the current directory with the -classpath parameter
> java -classpath . Hello
Problems like this can really discourage java newbies, and that moment was very embarassing

There are many correct answers here but not really clear to a java noob like me. After pulling my hair out for an hour and reading the answers over and over again it finally struck me.
The answer for me is this: You should give the path to the directory where your to be executed .class file is, from the directory where you execute it from as you classpath.
/program/Java/$: Javac hello.java
/program/Java/$: java hello
Hello!!
If i now want to execute it from /program
/program$: java -classpath ./Java hello
Hello!!
or from the root /
/$: java -classpath ./program/Java hello
Hello!!
Hope this makes sense for the ones who did not get it the first ten times like myself.

HI Everyone .
Following should be checked:=
Primary check for java -version, if it returns values then installation is proper else re-install
(Installation path may vary… check yours accordingly …..)
1)Set JAVA_HOME to C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_12
2) Set CLASSPATH environment to C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_12/jre/lib;./;
(Note :- ” ./ ” )
3)Set Path to C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_12bin

If the class you wanna execute is in a package, do this:
java -classpath . packagename.classname
Don’t forget the spaces after “classpath” and the first “.” and note that there aren’t spaces after your package name and the following period.

i finally got it….
first set the CLASSPATH to the location of the folder where you have saved the .java files.
second, make sure that in the PATH, you got a setting describing where the installation files are- i.e C:Program Filesjavajdk 1.6.0_18bin.
also ensure you got QTJAVA set to the location of the jre bin file-i.e c:program files.
lastly, create a variable called JAVA_HOME containing the following values….the location for the jdk bin. I.E c:

I had this problem and this suggestion did not work.
I figured out that when you have, lets say a class called X, and at the top of the java file it does NOT have a package statement, the class will compile and run with javac and java with no problems.
When you add a package statement and try to run the program with the line java X, it fails to run.
You must go to the parent directory of the package directory and run the line
java .X
This works perfectly fine and solved my problem.
Hope this helps!

Everywhere I look I see the classpath as an issue but even though I got the same error, classpath was not the problem.
If you know your classpath is set up right check you source file. In my case, I had named my class one thing and tried to run it with the name I thought I had called in the source.
For example, my source said class VolcanoApplicataion when I mean VolcanoApplication so when I compiled it went fine but when I tried to run it as the name i truly meant I got the error in question.
Hope it helps and spread it around cause everywhere I looked left out this tidbit

Although I’ve read through all of the postings here and elsewhere & already tried all of those recommendations and re-installing the Java JDK, I keep getting the error of NoClassDefFoundError.
Also, following various changes I made to suit the recommendations listed about this problem and possible solutions, my PATH, Java_HOME, and Classpath variables are set to the following:
a) PATH system variable:
%SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%System32Wbem;C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Toolsbinn;C:Program FilesCommon FilesRoxio Shared9.0DLLShared;C:Program FilesCommon FilesRoxio SharedDLLShared;C:Program FilesQuickTimeQTSystem;C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_19bin
hared;C:Program FilesCommon FilesRoxio SharedDLLShared;C:Program FilesQuickTimeQTSystem;C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_19bin;C:Program FilesPalmSDK
bin;C:Program FilesPalmSDKbinnovacom
b) Classpath:
.;
c) Java_Home:
C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_19
Also, in Eclipse, I have the “helloUser” class stored in a package named “HelloUser” and am running Vista with the User Account Control feature disabled. In addition, when using the javac command with the helloUser.java class from the C:users[myName]workspaceHelloUsersrchelloUser directory, it appears that the helloUser.java class gets compiled successfully. The problem appears to be isolated to using the java command against the compiled version of the class.
Any thoughts?
Errors shown when trying to execute the class from the command-line:

Hi there,
Problem often occurs when re?nstalling, easy to fix: i right-click on my computer, Properties, select the Advanced Tab, then press the Environment Variables button and a window pops up. At the bottom there’s is a button with System Variables, press it. All you have to do is delete CLASSPATH variables in the list.

Thanks Ds, this really solved my problem for good. There was another CLASSPATH variable listed–hope my deleting it won’t screw up that program.
I’m using TextPad which would compile my program fine but not run it without that stupid error, and it was a bother to go to the DOS command prompt to run the program using “java -classpath . Classname” though that did work too.
Thanks everyone, I’m hoping to stick with it.

After a full day of research I could find the solution to the problem.
I created a java program Pet.java under a package com.xyz.client under the folder sturcture
C:Documents and SettingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrc
so my Pet.java resides in
C:Documents and SettingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrccomxyzclient
I set my classpath to C:Documents and settingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrc
by doing set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:Documents and settingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrc
to compile the program
I changed to the directory where my Pet.java resides
so I did
cd C:Documents and SettingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrccomxyzclient
and there I executed the command
javac Pet.java
and then I switched my directory to
my src folder where my package reside i.e
C:Documents and settingsspatroWorkspacespositronmyProjectsrc
and here I executed the command
java -cp . com.xyz.client.Pet
Note:- the . is for the current directory.
Hope, this explanation will help others who struggled for this like me.

Make sure you already set you CLASSPATH environment variable.
Read this section carefully:

THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE WHO STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM
I’m sure you’ve tried everything written in this forum. After looking for an answer at Oracle’s website, I’ve finally found it.
WHAT YOU’VE GOT TO DO is to stand in the src folder of your proyect, NOT IN YOUR PACKAGE. then, use this syntax:
java -cp . PACKAGE.CLASS
remember, your cd must be your proyect/src and follow the syntax above.

Apparently it matters in which order you put the class-files when creating your jar-file. If you’re using superclasses/subclasses you have to put the superclass first in the command! Like so: “jar cvmf manifest.txt myfile.jar SuperClass.class SubClass.class TestClass.class”

omg i have been working on this FOREVER and none of the many suggestions worked. But first i should tell you that every single step I had huge problems but I never gave up because I have successfully configured a few years ago when I first tried to teach myself Java. Anyway, I have made many mistakes configuing the CLASSPATH so I really didn’t know what to fix. After finally getting it to compile successfully (creating the class file) it still wouldn’t work. Finally I tried this…and I didn’t see it anywhere in this blog so I hope it helps everyone after me. In addition to what you have in the CLASSPATH (int the envir. varables)add the following without deleting anything you already have there:
.;C:J24work
instead of J24work you should enter the exact path to where you are puting you .java and .class files which is probably different from where you JDK is for some people.
I truly hope I explained this well and it helps someone.

Hey was trying to run the class file from cmd after a long years and had stuck with this beginners time error. But suggestion of including classpath of the .class file using set classpath = and then running java command worked really well.
Thanks a ton !!!
