classpath

[vidhya subramaniam]

I am in my root directory /work/vsubra. I have file A.java in this directory. When I compile useing javac A.java it does create a class in the same dir as A.class. But when I run it using java A then it gives me this error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFound error
i have given the path in my classpath also for rt.jar. The path goes as
/usr/java131/jre/lib/rt.jar;.
Why this error then?

the command line should be
java -classpath . A
Moving this to the Java in General (Beginner) forum.

You said it Mohsin!
It's also possible that the class A is declared to be in a package other than the default. Is there a line in A.java similar to:
package something;
?
