I've built a java program within the IDE. Everything works fine.

Now I want to run the program from the command line so I can
put the program into a script.

From within the directory that my main class resids I run,

java -cp <my libs> main.test

Result:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test_main

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong so this can run?

thanks

Tim

Tim,

This is one of the pitfalls of using an IDE--it handles so much of the
setting-up for us that we're often lost without it. In your commandline
example:

java -cp <my libs> main.test

you're implying that you're trying to run a public static void main() method
in a class called test, which is itself in a package called main. If that
isn't your package/class layout, you may want to refer a link such as

Regards,
