Java not working? [Solved]

[Matt]

I'm having a bizarre problem with Java. It must be something i'm doing but i can't work it out. The back story is that i've just started learning java, i'm as far along as writing the Hello World program. Anyway from within Eclipse i can compile and run programs, however from a terminal i can still compile just fine but when i try to run said program

Code: Select all

java HelloWorld.class

i get a this error

Code: Select all

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld/class

I've tried removing Icedtea in favour of sun-jdk but no change. Google searches have found me nothing helpful either but i may not have searched for the right question yet. I'm sure this is a case of equipment being superior to operator but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt

I will do it for you this time.

Also, if you find out why it was not working or which was the problem, it is better to explain how you solved it, no matter how simple the solution looks, maybe somebody else is having the same issue
