Answer 1

Check the classpath too

Issue-java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Root Cause: Incorrect Java path set in Environment Variable Section

Solution: Set correct JAVA_HOME Path

Steps->Environment Variable Setting (My Comp-Right Click ->Properties->Env Variable->Advance Tab ->Variable)

Create new JAVA_HOME Environment Variable.

JAVA_HOME .;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_14

Set JAVA_HOME variable in PATH Variable section.

PATH %JAVA_HOME%\\bin

Set JAVA_HOME variable in CLASSPATH Variable

CLASSPATH %JAVA_HOME%\\jre\\lib

Restart System

Verify all variable

echo %CLASSPATH%

echo %JAVA_HOME%

echo %PATH%

Compile & Run the program
