Function not visible outside the NetBeans IDE

[Rick T.]

Hi:

I wrote a GUI application using NetBeans IDE 3.6 and J2SDK1.4.2_05
which worked out really well within the NetBeans IDE environment. But
when I try to run it from the commandline or a desktop icon, the GUI
comes up but one of the methods I'm calling from another class claims
to be non-existent.

The class I'm referencing is public and so is the method I'm invoking.
Can anyone tell me how this is possible?

My CLASSPATH is set up to point to the directory where all of my
classes are --including the one I'm having a problem with.

I appreciate any advice you may have!

Thanks!

I wrote a GUI application ..

..when I try to run it from the commandline or a desktop icon, the GUI
comes up but one of the methods I'm calling from another class claims
to be non-existent.

So that is an IAmAnIllusionException? Or perhaps a NoSuchMethodError?

The class I'm referencing is public and so is the method I'm invoking.

Can your GUI find the class itself? Are you invoking a static method?

Can anyone tell me how this is possible?

My CLASSPATH is set up to point to the directory where all of my
classes are --including the one I'm having a problem with.

The advice to add projects or directories to the classpath is very old.
Sun themselves now recommend you do *not* do that. Instead add the
appropriate paths at runtime.

I appreciate any advice you may have!
