I am writing a utility jar file to be shared into multiple project. Basically it handles establishing database connection and making calculations and later return the values. Other projects will import my jar file and call my function.

Right now i am having problem when i tried to call one of the functions in the jar file.In eclipse there are no compile error but as i test it at app server i receives this error 

22:16:35,177 DEBUG ExecutionContext:187 - Transitioning to lifecycle stage RequestComplete

I export the jar file using eclipse and here’s the sample function of the SimplePing

public class SimplePing {

     /**
      * @param args
      */
     public  void testSimplePing() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("This is a simple ping .");
     }

}

It seems that the appserver unable to find my class even to it exists in the jar file.Any help is welcomed

    If you look closely to the error stack you can see the following:

    Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/my/rnd/test/utils/SimplePing

    Which is a common error when you have one of the following conditions:

    1. You have a jar(s) missing in your lib
    2. You have some jar(s) missing from your classpath

    3. You have some dependencies missing from your MANIFEST file:

      ...
      Main-Class: fully.qualified.MainClass
      Class-Path: lib/dependency1-X.Y.jar lib/dependency2-W.Z.jar
      ...

    4. You have a JDK problem

    Eventually all connect to the same problem: A missing jar ( JDK or third-party related jar)
    You can also use maven plugin for eclipse which will manage your dependancies of your current project and your jarable one which is needed by your project, ofcourse if you are fond of Maven.
