How to run a java program by cmd

Question

I finished my little app. so now i would like to see the result by command prompt. (in eclipse works well).

first step i decided (to be sure) to compile by command prompt my program:

javac appNegozio.java

i compiled without error in fact i have my files .class (all the program have just 1 class but i have some inner class and so i have more than 1 file .class)

now if i try to run my program:

java appNegozio

i have this problem on the prompt:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: appNegozio (wrong nam

thank you

Answer 1

I see two possible reasons:

1. Your classname is different than your file name (might not be the case since it is compiled.)
2. You are missing package while executing your compiled code. If it is the case:

java prgStore.appNegozio will do the thing.

when/if you add some code I will try to update my answer.

Besides;

(all the program have just 1 class but i have some inner class and so i have more than 1 file .class)

is not a problem.

Answer 2

From outside the folder prgStore

Use: java prgStore.appNegozio

Answer 3

appNegozio is inside a package. When compiling a Java program, javac just requires the file name, so passing it appNegozio.java works. However, when running a program, java requires that you pass it the full class name, package and all, and wants this data passed to it from outside the package folder. Try using the following code in cmd:

cd ..
java prgStore.appNegozio

Answer 4

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError occur when JVM did not find the particular class in runtime. you can generate all the class file same location and then run the program.
