I have already set the classpath at export CLASSPATH=.:/home/lisa/graphhopper/graphhopperAndrea/web/src/main/webapp/cancelladir and try to recompile but nothing change. What is the problem?? what I have to do?

Answer 1

After you compile your code, you end up with .class files for each class in your program. These binary files are the bytecode that Java interprets to execute your program. The NoClassDefFoundError indicates that the classloader, which is responsible for dynamically loading classes, cannot find the .class file for the class that you're trying to use. It probably indicates that you haven't set the classpath option when executing your code. This link explains how to set the classpath when you execute

Answer 2

1) Open a new shell and add a new simple program like this.
2) Compile the java code using javac Hello.java
3) Run the code using java Hello
It should work, if you still have issue let know.
