Have you verified that there is a Test.class file after compiling?
Are you changing to the directory that contains that Test.class file?

Another tutorial that describes your problem (which is, by the way, a very common problem for people writing their first Java application):
Getting Started - The "Hello World" Application
Try searching the forum or Google for "NoClassDefFoundError".

Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback. I checked in the folder where the .java file is there and after compilation the .class file also is in there. But i still get the same error.
In the path variable i have added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin;
and the CLASSPATH variable is set to C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
.java and .class files are in "jdk1.5.0_06\bin\examples" directory
I am trying to execute in the command prompt from
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\examples>
I don't know why I still keep getting this message.
where does the "java" command look for the .class file.

I think that's the problem: If you're starting out, you should usually not set a system CLASSPATH value. If you delete this setting, then Java will revert to its default of looking for classes in the current directory, and you should be okay. But if you must set a CLASSPATH value, then be sure to add a dot (.) to the list so that Java will look in the current directory. If you are on a Windows machine, use a semicolon to separate values. Note the semicolon and dot at the end...
C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;.
