Error “main class not found”

Question

All,

My classpath has been set to the following folder:

CLASSPATH = .;C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_21\\bin;C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_21\\bin         


        

Answer 1

You're inside the package. You should be sitting in the package root. Go one folder up.

cd ..

Then reexecute it using java project.DriverClass.

---

That said, you should prefer not to use the CLASSPATH environment variable. Yours is currently also invalid. There are spaces in unquoted pathnames. Also, the JDK/bin folder isn't supposed to go in the classpath. Just use the -cp argument like java -cp . project.DriverClass (while sitting in the package root folder).

Answer 2

After compiling if we get a main class not found error, It is simple try this set classpath=%classpath%;.; type this in cmd and run it..problem will be resolved

Answer 3

Try:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin>java project.DriverClass

assuming your package is project
