Exeption in thread "main" .......

[amit patel]

Hi there !
Here is the most simple program ever possible in java.
______________________________________________________________
class Q2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("God man !");
}
}
_______________________________________________________________

* I set the class path as follow:
PATH --> C:\jdk1.2.2\bin
CLASSPATH --> C:\jdk1.2.2\lib
then when I go to dos-promt and try (to test)
"D:\editplus\mices>javac Q2.java"
it works fine and gives me promt again (it ok so far)
and then I check files in mices folder and Q2.class file is there so the compiling part is over.
-_-
the problem comes from here
when I say
"D:\editplus\mices>java Q2"
it gives me this error:
"Exeption in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error: Q2"
I don't know whats went wrong !!! can I compile and run (at promt) from any directory or I have to store my files in some folder for which I set the path???
need help from you guys
Thanks

Okay Amit. This is a simple problem. You simply need to add a dot '.' (which signifies that java should add the current working directory) to your classpath.
So in your case this would be
CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.2.2\lib;.
Hope this helps.

PATH is for compiling
CLASSPATH is for running

Unless you are putting your compiled *.class files into C:\jdk1.2.2\lib you don't need that in your classpath. Try including that in your path instead and set your classpath to D:\editplus\mices or whereever your *.class files will be.

The . will work as long as you always type java WhatEverClass while you are in the same directory as the WhatEverClass.class file.

Funny things do happen in computer field.
After long try when I failed in running my java files, I show this on one of the site that J++ builder set the path it self. So I downloaded it and installed it.
Now, I try to run the same file and guess what ? it worked.
bottom line I can compile and run files now.
Thanks for your kind help
