Unknown compiler error with Java.

Well, in that case I'm glad, the bush isn't rose but red! ^^

Ah, well then I guess I'll just have to drink another one again.

Rose? What on earth I was thinking there ...

Quite, drink another to calm down from the shock. ^^ And then drink one for me, as I can't do so myself, would you? That would make me feel much better too!

Please don't tell.

Hi again.

I'm sorry that my descriptions on this forum are vague.. I am not used to help forum mannerisms what so ever. My apologies =)

So I should mention once again that it compiles(I put compiler error, but it is actually running the program when the issue pops up)

I am running JDK SE build 06 with Update 2.

With Windows XP Pro SP2

Everything that I can see.. and that my professor can see is correct. I am in the right directory and code is fine. She advised me to see support from the help desk here in my facility. But I don't think that will solve much.

Another fellow in my class had the same problem and was directed by a mod in some forum to download a program which takes him around this error. I would rather just fix the error at it's source if possible.

import javax.swing.*;

public class WelcomeInABox
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welomce to Java!", "Display Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
	}
	
}

That code also come up with the same error. Compiles just fine. but when I run it, comes up with the error

"Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.NoCla ssDefFoundError : WelcomeInABox/java"

So frustrated.

Thaks again

Read my reply #6 again and don't try to run any class as "package/classname".
It doesn't work like that.

kind regards,

Jos

Well running it that way the error doesn't pop up instantly. It idles for a few seconds, then pops up.

The way I was running(which is how I am instructed) is:

java Welcome

java -cp . Welcome gives me the same error..

Some guy has mentioned that apparently the command line is attempting to run the .java file instead of the .class file? Does that sound right?

[Daveyyy]

Ok, so problem solved.

Apparently when I run the program i.e. java -cp . Welcome

I need to actually use Welcome.class or it automatically trys to run the .java file. This is odd to me because noone else is doing this. But.. if I simply use Welcome.class it runs just fine.

I appreciate all the help received.

The java virtual machine will never attempt to run a .java source file; you also
shouldn't supply the .class suffix; the java virtual machines assumes such an
extension already (unless you specifiy a .jar file). The correct command line
(for now) is:

java -cp . Welcome
