I have created programs in jsdk1.4. Compiling and running the applications work fine. But when I upgraded to jsdk1.6 running the applications became a problem. The noclassdeffound error occurs. I am using JPadpro as my IDE and have set the required path for the jsdk.

Welcome to JavaRanch.

No classes have ever been removed from JSE, so whatever code worked with Java 1.4 should work with Java 6. What error message are you getting, exactly?

What command are you entering on the command line to run the program? Is the class "frametest" in the current directory, or are you using the "-cp" switch to specify the classpath where the JRE should look to find it?

I am using the JPadPro as my IDE, what I did is simply changed the path of the jdk to the location of jdk1.6 as what I did with jdk1.4. No other options were changed but this couldn't run the applications. However when I revert back to jdk1.4, running the application doesn't generate the error.

Well, I don't know how JPadPro works, but it's definitely an IDE configuration issue, not a Java 6 issue.

I dont knw how jpadpro works too,
but the error sounds like the jvm is unable to find main class,

are you sure the classpath is properly set ?

Beware . . . you are usually better off with no classpath at all. If you do have a classpath, then simply add .: (not Windows) or .; (DOS/Windows) at its beginning.

If this is an IDE issue, then this thread should move to the IDEs forum.

Thanks everyone for the reply. I'll try to look into the IDE options coz I can't still work it out.

hmm

this is what i mostly do:



considering java is indeed installed at that location

the %classpath% trick is good since it does not alter existing classpath

just thought of sharing...

Don't know if you ever figured this one out but its a version compatibility issue with running 1.4 apps while having 1.6.0_15 --> 1.6.0_17 installed. The latest version 1.6.0_18 works fine with 1.4 apps.
