Java Classpath Problem

[pitthekid]

Hello,

I am programming java for quite a long time. In Windows I used always
IDE (like Netbeans).

This is the source
package test;

/**
*
* @author Weik
*/
public class CallNativeMethods {

/** Creates a new instance of CallNativeMethods */
public CallNativeMethods() {
}



/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here

System.out.println("Hello from Java");
}

}


I compiled it within the directory (It WinXP C:\test). If I now move
one dirctory upward (C and type

java test.CallNativeMethods

I get
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
test/CallNativeMethods.


If I put C:\test into the CLASSPATH Variable the same thing happens.

What's the matter? I probably did a very stupid error??

Thanks for help.

If you do that, you should call
java CallNativesMethods
and you should make sure that the expected classpath is available from the
console you are using.

Where's the .class file? If it's c:\test\CallNativeMethods.class then
your classpath (or -cp) needs to point to c:\.

Note that you're going down a slippery slope by naming your classes
with verbs. Classes should be nouns with verbs for methods.
