A NoClassDefFoundError
basically means that the class was there in the classpath during compiletime, but it is missing in the classpath during runtime.
In your case, when executing using java.exe
from commandline, you need to specify the classpath in the -cp
or -classpath
argument. Or if it is a JAR file, then you need to specify it in the class-path
entry of its MANIFEST.MF
file.
The value of the argument/entry can be either absolute or relative file system paths to a folder containing all .class
files or to an individual .jar
file. You can separate paths using a semicolon ;
. When a path contains spaces, you need to wrap the particular path with doublequotes "
. Example:
java -cp .;c:/path/to/file.jar;"c:/spacy path/to/classes" mypackage.MyClass
To save the effort of typing and editing the argument in commandline everytime, use a .bat
file.
Edit: I should have realized that you're using an Unix based operating system. The above examples are Windows-targeted. In the case of Unix like platforms you can follow the same rules, but you need to separate the paths using a colon :
and instead of an eventual batch file, use a .sh
file.
java -cp .:/path/to/file.jar:"/spacy path/to/classes" mypackage.MyClass
