Answer 1

I'd like to correct the perspective of others on NoClassDefFoundError.

NoClassDefFoundError can occur for multiple reasons like

1. ClassNotFoundException -- .class not found for that referenced class irrespective of whether it is available at compile time or not(ie base/child class).
2. Class file located, but Exception raised while initializing static variables
3. Class file located, Exception raised while initializing static blocks

What it means by saying "available in compile time"?

• The referenced class is used in the code. Eg: Two classes, A and B(extends A). If B is referenced directly in the code, it is available at compile time, ie A a = new B();

What it means by saying "not available at compile time"?

• The compile time class and runtime class are different, ie for example base class is loaded using classname of child class for example Class.forName("classname") Eg: Two classes, A and B(extends A). Code has

  A a = Class.forName("B").newInstance();
