Also, I think you are confusing CLASSPATH with PATH. PATH is used by DOS to determine where the executables are e.g. java.exe CLASSPATH is used by Java to determine where class files (or jar files) are
In your case the CLASSPATH should only contain the directory containing your compiled class file. Do not confuse yourself by putting "d:\jdk1.3;d:\jdk1.3\bin;" on your classpath. Most people do not set the environment variable CLASSPATH at all since this will be different for every application you write. I would set JAVA_HOME to "d:\jdk1.3" and then use the command line as follows (assuming you are in the directory where your class file is): %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -cp . test Note - "-cp" replaces "-classpath" in JDK1.3 Using JAVA_HOME like this allows you to save cmd/bat files that will work even if you move to a new version of Java - just change JAVA_HOME.

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 ?
