Question

I have a class "Stimulus.java" in which another jar's class has been used. When I created jar and executed I got below error. I used "-classpath" to set dependancy jar file. Any clues are appreciated.
import modulus.Modulus;
public class Stimulus{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
            Model.main(args);
C:\Documents and Settings\User>"c:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_14\bin\java.exe" -classpath "D:\User\mypgms\test\bin\Modulus.jar;" -jar D:\User\mypgms\test\bin\Stimulus.jar c:\test.txt
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: modulus/Modulus
        at Stimulus.main(Stimulus.java:4)

Answer 1

You can't mix classpath values with the -jar option. Using the -jar option causes Java to use only the Class-Path: information in the jar's manifest file, while ignoring all external classpath information. Review this for details:
