Hello everyone... I'm working on a server program, and I have no problem running it from the IDE I use, Eclipse... however, if I go to the commandline and run it, I get the following error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Server/class" Can anyone help me with this... I'm sure it's soemthing stupid I'm doing... Like I said, it does work when I run it from Eclipse... Thanks a lot Mike

Had a lot of problems myself to run java apps from the command line.
You haven't given me a lot information, so here are some general points:

* don't specify the .class suffix
* if your main class (the one containing the main method) is in a package, don't forget to fully qualify the main class name (such as "server.App", not "App")
* be sure to launch it from the right directory. Let's say your main class resides in the c:\programming\java\server\ directory, you must go to c:\programming\java directory and start your app from there.

Excellent!!!!

Thanks, I was using Server.class to run it.... took out the .class and it worked :)

I knew it was something stupid like that..

Thanks for the help
