This question should be asked on a Java forum, but here is your answer: Add "." to the beginning of your classpath: CLASSPATH=.;d:\jdk1.3;d:\jdk1.3\bin; This tells Java to look in the current directory for classes. Jim

I try to an java application under DOS (Windows operating system is windows 2000 server). I got error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test. The application is a sample from text book, very simple: class test { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } I run it by "java test". I installed jdk1.3, and setup the CLASSPATH point to d:\jdk1.3;d:\jdk1.3\bin; what do I missed ?
