Newbie - java app error

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 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

Hihi,
this error...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test
means they cannot find your class file... check if your java file and your class file is in the same folder...
