Try checking the classpath

Posted by Suprakash Das on September 20, 2001 at 3:14 AM

Hi Alex,
If your class is within a package say somepackage, compile it like:
javac -d . sompackage.makeFaxGUI.java
Try running the program with the complete qualified classname like:
java somepackage.makeFaxGUI

Hope this helps.

> Hello,

> I've always programmed for myself inside of my IDE, Kawa Pro - and have recently tried to run that same program outside of the IDE and all I get is - after succesful compilation:

> C:\makeFax>javac makeFax.java makeFaxGUI.java Contact.java InfoDialog.java

> C:\makeFax>java makeFaxGUI
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: makeFaxGUI

> There is in fact a main class in makeFaxGUI - so I don't know what the problem is. If I run it from within KAWA Pro, it works just fine.

> Help appreciated!
