Using Java From DOS Command Line - Cannot Find Or Load Main Class
Nov 10, 2013
When I try to run Java from the Windows DOS command line, I'm running into trouble:
1. When I run Java from the wrong directory, I get the error Error: cannot find or load main class myapp1.
2. When I get to the "right" directory (.../MyApp1/build/classes/myapp1/, which is where the MyApp1.class file resides), I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyApp1 (wrong name: myapp1/MyApp1)
1. The CLASSPATH variable is not set (when I type echo %CLASSPATH% the system returns %CLASSPATH%).
2. I also get the same error above when I use: > java -cp . myapp1
3. I've made sure the PATH is set correctly in environment variables, with the Java path at the beginning of the path string).

I have permanently set the path of bin of JDK 1.6 in the environment variables of my system. I am able to compile any of my java programs successfully. But when I give command to run the program I am getting an error "could not find or load main class".
When I write the command "set classpath=.;" program runs successfully. I want to know whether I have to set this classpath everytime I run a new progaram. Is there any permanent way to set classpath ?

I creates this simple code (shown below) inside a package of a major opensource code (i.e., openSHA), but when i run it the following error appears. The error mentions a class named "KT_testGmpeForScenarioRupture" that i wrote before and did not run showing exactly the same error.
Code:
package org.opensha.sha.gcim.imr.attenRelImpl;
public class KT_Test {
private static void main(String args) {
int x=4;
System.out.println("x is " + x);
}
}
Error: Could not find or load main class org.opensha.sha.gcim.imr.attenRelImpl.KT_testGmpeF orScenarioRupture

I'm trying to run a java program from cmd. I'm using Windows 8, java version "1.8_0_20". I've got two classes, the main class called Middleware and a secondary class, called WorkerThread, of which the main class is using functions. I've successfully compiled both .java files with javac, and created the .class file. So all files are in the same folder. However, when I attempt to run the main class with java Middleware, I get the error message: "Error: Could not find or load main class". Here's the main class:
package middleware;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class Middleware {
//Number of threads serving clients.
private static int nr_threads = 5;
private static int portNr = 6789;
private static ServerSocket welcomeSocket;
private static ExecutorService executor;
[code]....
My code compiles and runs fine in eclipse but on the console, I'm having troubles.

I'm getting an error trying to run a welcome app from a book. I've looked at the FAQs and can't seem to solve the issue. I'm guessing my path and/or classpath are not right. Here's my path environment variable.

It looks like the version command gives me what it should, so it appears I've got java setup right, but I"m stuck on the error I'm getting :

I was trying to write my own version of the game SimpleDotCom from Head First Java. I have two files:
Game.java:
package project_01;
public class Game{
byte hitCount = 0;
String result = "miss";
int counter = 0;
String checkGuess(int[] location,int userGuess){
[Code] .....
The two files are in the same directory, "project_01" and the CLASSPATH environment variable is set to ".;".
The game compiled but when I tried launching it with "java GameTester" it returned the error : Could not find or load main class GameTester. I know my game is horrible and probably extremely buggy but I'll fix all the bugs, etc. later, right now I just need to get it to run.

My problem is that I can compile a java HelloWorld program using javac HelloWorld.java but I cannot run the program using java HelloWorld. I didn't create the code it was developed by a professional programmer. My assignment is to compile and run, so that I see the output.

I've just started, so right now I'm reading about declaring enums, the book lists the following code
enum CoffeeSize {
//8,10 & 16 are passed to the constuctor
BIG(6), HUGE(10), OVERWHELMING(16);
CoffeeSize(int ounces){ //constructor
this.ounces = ounces;
[Code] .....
I'm assuming that code to be in a same file since enums can be declared within and outside a class, so I saved it into a file named "Coffee.java", it compiles just fine from command line but when I try to execute "java Coffee" it throws "Error: Could not find or load main class Coffee"...

I am trying to understand how package(directory structure) and JAR files work interchangeably. From my understanding JAR is a package file format typically used to aggregate many Java classes. Since many classes are usually contained inside a package, I should be able to create a JAR file from a package, and use them interchangeably. A single JAR file is easier to handle then multiple classes and folders.
To test my understanding of the concept, I am working with the following project structure,
/development_directory
____/BookPackage
________Book.java
____BookDemo.java
Book.java contains the following code,
package BookPackage;
public class Book{
private String bookname;
public Book(String str){
bookname = str;
}
public String getBookName(){
return bookname;
}
}
and BookDemo.java contains the following code,
import BookPackage.Book;
class BookDemo{
public static void main(String ... args){
Book b = new Book("Lord of the Rings");
System.out.println(b.getBookName());
}
}
From the development_directory, I used the following commands to compile and run the project,
development_directory/ javac BookDemo.java
development_directory/ java BookDemo
...and it compiles and works as expected.Now, I will try to convert the BookPackage folder(package) into single jar file for portability, and I am using the following command to do that,development_directory/ jar -cf bookpkg.jar BookPackage ...this command generates the bookpkg.jar file.
I am going to remove the BookPackage folder to see if bookpkg.jar file really works as a replacement for the BookPackage directory structure.
After removal of BookPackage folder, the development_directory structure looks like this,
/development_directory
____bookpkg.jar
____BookDemo.java
Now, I tried to use the following commands to see if the program works as before,
// to compile
development_directory/ javac -cp ./bookpkg.jar BookDemo.java
...it compiles without any error - this means the replacement of bookpkg.jar for BookPackage(package) folder structure is working - Am I correct?
// to run
development_directory/ java -cp ./bookpkg.jar BookDemo
...And I hit an error,
Error: Could not find or load main class BookDemo
But the BookDemo class is at default namespace - why it JRE won't be able to find the main method?
And, the way I am trying to replace package folder structure with a single JAR file - am I getting the concept correctly?

I currently use Eclipse to maintain our Java application. I recently upgraded from Java 6 to Java 7. I updated my Eclipse projects to use the Java 7 .jar files. I can run the application from Eclipse via the Run Configuration.
I can also run the Ant build and it completes successfully. When I install the application on my desktop, I receive the "Java Virtual Machine Launcher: Could not find main class..." error. My CLASSPATH is set to ".".

Whenever I try to write a file to the disk and then load it within the same Class (if it is even possible) ...
It gives me an error: Could not find the main class: score.Score. Program will exit.
I have tried this with 2 different classes and it works fine? Why that error is appearing.

I'm learning about the printf command, and when I have it, it is not letting me ad an input. Here is my quick little program:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TestingPrintF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
[Code] ....
The first section works good, but when i move down to the second part it just automatically finishes without letting me enter a phrase.

I am reading the excellent book Algorithms. The author of this book is using his own libraries.
I have downloaded the libraries (it is a file called stdlib.jar) and I've store it in a directory called ~/Downloads(I am using a macbook pro).
Then I have created a project with IntelliJ Idea 14.1 using the default package (as it is the only way for a program to 'see' these libraries).
The program is running inside the ide, but because of the nature of this book, all the included code must be run from the command line.
The problem is that I cannot run for example the Average class from the command line because the system asks for the external library.
Specifically the error is :
I enter : java -cp . Average
and the Error I get is :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: StdIn
at Average.main(Average.java:11)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: StdIn
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:372)
[Code] ....
The Average class is the following :
public class Average {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Average the numbers on StdIn
double sum = 0.0;
int cnt = 0;
[Code] .....
