java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when i run java file from terminal
<p>I am a java newbie..I have been using Eclipse to test a simple java class (named NewHelloWorld) and it runs fine in the console there. When I try to do the same thing from terminal, it compliles properly (creates a HelloWorld.class without giving any error) , but then <code>java NewHelloWorld</code> shows the following error </p>

<pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NewHelloWorld (wrong name: org/kodeplay/kodejava/NewHelloWorld)

    Could not find the main class: NewHelloWorld. Program will exit.
</code></pre>

<p>I also tried <code>java -classpath . NewHelloWorld</code> but that doesnt work as well giving the same error. </p>

<p>These are the values of the environment variables </p>

<pre><code>PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk"
CLASSPATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib:."
</code></pre>

<p>Is anything else required or am I missing anything here ? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>PS. using Ubuntu 10.04 desktop</p>
