Exception in thread "main"

i have created a folder com. In this folder i have created the following file


I compile it using
D:\>javac com\Hello.java

But i am unable to run it. i get the following error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com\Hello

when i do D:\>java com\Hello
Please help

java parameter is fully qualified class name not file name so correct form is
d:\>java com.Hello

d:\>java com/Hello also works but not with \.

Still getting error

D:\>java com.Hello
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/Hello

If you want to comple the command is javac, not java.

What operating system are you using?

Hi,
The problem may be with your classpath, check whether you have added
.(i.e current dir)in the classpath.

FYI
Just try these steps

set classpath=%classpath%;.;
then run
java com.Hello

Hope this helps

cheers

You need to have your .class file in a directory hierarchy that matches its package. In your case, you could manually create a directory "com" and move Hello.class there, or you could compile using the -d directory. When you use -d, the compiler will place the .class file in the proper directory hierarchy at the specified location. For example,
>javac -d . Hello.java
will result in the Hello.class being created in a newly created folder "com" located in your working directory.
