Install/run issue...

Question

hi...
i'm new to java. i'm trying to install java (1.4.1) on a redhat linux (8.0) and trying to get the following test app to run... i'm getting an error when i try to run, so i don't know the actual cause of the error. i might have the java environmebt set incorrectly, or the test app may not be correctly written (it was on one of the java install sites that i was using as i was installing...)
i have JAVA_HOME as a environment var
i seem to have the "correct" dir structure for java on the system
i can do java -version.. and get version of the java environment
- can do javac .. and i get the list of attributes...
i have the following test app in a separate dir
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
class Test
public static void main( String argv[] )
System.out.println( "Arguments:" );
int i = 0;
while( i < Array.getLength(argv) )
System.out.println( argv[i] );
i++;
i can compile it with no apparent issues...
when i ->> java test q1 q2 q3
i get the following error..
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test
i can't seem to find a good explanation using google as to what this means, or what's causing it..
any help/assistance would be appreciated!
thanks

The 'import' statement is only used during compiling. You posted a run time error so it should have nothing to do with import.
The class you posted is named Test. The command you posted used test. Java is case sensitive.
If that isn't it, then it is probably a Classpath problem. Try going to the directory where the Test.class is located and using the commandjava -classpath . Test
