Question

I have this class stored in
C:/CODE/src/

I open up the CMD and type in

C:/CODE/src>java -cp . Hello

And then it gives me this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello <wrong name: src/hello>

The java version is “1.7._02”
I do not know what else to do?
It complies and runs in eclipse IDE but not from the Command Console?

What should I do to rectify this problem?

public class Hello {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Hello");

        }

}

Environment Variables

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\;

PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\;

Answer 1

It complies and runs in eclipse IDE but not from the Command Console?

You should be running the command in the dir with the Hello.class file
You are running into in the src which has only your Hello.java file
You will find the Hello.class file under /bin (that’s where Eclipse places them)
