Compile JAVA via javac with classpath

I have the following folder structure:

My workspace is /java and the "project" is like this:

- de
  - vfh
    - gp1
      - bib
        - Console.class
        - Console.java
      - app
        - MyFile.java
        - MyFile.class

So when I do:

cd ~/Desktop/java
javac -classpath "." de/vfh/gp1/app/MyFile.java
cd ~/Desktop/java/de/vfg/app/
java MyFile

The javac command works well but the java command fails and I get:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: de/vfh/gp1/bib/Console

Any ideas how my classpath should look like?

Solution

  • you should run it from the root of your project, and use the full name (with package) of the class: 

    cd ~/Desktop/java/
java de.vfg.app.MyFile

    BTW - I don't see you compile Console, this is obviously needed
