Newbie - Java compilation error

Posted by greg on July 26, 2001 at 9:16 PM

I am an experienced programmer that has worked on several java projects. Even though I have worked with the Java language, I have worked using it at a summarized "tool" level.

I am in the process of learning the "nuts & bolts" of the language so that I may undestand the underlying commands and programming concepts.

system:
windows nt system 4.0

Problem:
when running (java) the testclass,an exception is thrown.

Please help ... I need to know what I am doing incorrect...
(please reference info below)

file layout:
class file: e:/dev/proj/classes/expertplan/misc/testmain.class
srce file: e:/dev/proj/source/expertplan/misc/testmain.java

dos command:
e:dev/proj>java -cp classes classes/expertplan/misc/testmain

error message:
exception in thread "main" java.lang.noclassdeffounderror - classes/expertplan/misc/testmain

*========= class source ========*
package expertplan.misc;

// import packages


// class meta data

// class definition
public class TestMain
{
//public properties
//private properties
//main()
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
System.out.println("hello world");
}

//constructors
public TestMain(){};
//accessors
//public methods
//private methods
//events
}
