Run a project without source .java files in Eclipse

Question

I have a java project in Eclipse that I am trying to run/debug. When I run the project Eclipse goes into Debug mode and then throws a ClassNotFound Exception. I have a class folder in the default package in my project that contains all the necessary class files. Any help regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

The classes folder needs to be added to the project's classpath. Putting classes into the source directory isn't going to work. Go to project properties -> Java Build Path to configure this.
