Path setting problem in jdk1.5

[abhijeet_raj]

Hi,
After installing jdk1.5 my program is compling but at the time of execution its giving error as Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFound error.I think it is problem of classpath.

>I think it is problem of classpath.

Well have you set it properly?

actually ur O.S. is not recognizing the ".java" file format........

u have to sort that out first....

if u are using windows...go to windows explorer.....create a new extension as ".java"

u will get it....

you actually understood that highly cryptic message?

Here I am giving a scenario to set class path

suppose jdk is installed in c;/java/jdk1.5

then follow the below three steps to set class path

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_07

set path=;%path%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

set classpath=%classpath%;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar

If Java is installed in c:/java/jdk1.5 (and I am assuming it is c: and not c; as posted) then JAVA_HOME should be c:/java/jdk1.5 and not C:/Java/jdk1.5.0_07

Does this work?
