Hi, I downloaded & installed jdk1.4 from sun's site.I'm using a dual boot system win98 S.E & win 2000 server.I'm able to run java in win98 but can't run in 2000.I receive an error :
"Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/javac/main "

Seems like a classpath problem, set classpath for ur win2000 config. Include the current directory (.) as well.

hi netharam,
1)are u using dual boot from different hard drives?
if so see if jre is installed in both the hard drives or see if u have the right path set in the class path (also try constructing ur class path using environment variables)
2)It seems like the error u have implies that the java compiler cannot be found.
try and cd into the java/bin directory and compiling a class from the dos prompt. If it works it means that ur classpath is wrong. if thats not wrong then something is wrong with the jre installation. Uninstall jre using add/remove from control panel under both 98 and 2000 and install it seperately under both. try it compiling the class again.
if both does not work post again and tell me what went wrong. hope this helps regards
syd

Hi Naveen, I've tried going to the bin directory of java & compiling a class already, but that failed.Why have u suggested me to reinstall in diff. directories?Let me try that if u r a absolutely right.

When I tried reinstalling java,while the setup sets the java runtime I receive an error
"Can't find the main class. The program will exit"
Please reply as soon as possible.

Hi,
Looks like your class is found now the problem is that you haven't defined a main method:
public static void main (String [] args) {}
Remember it has to have the exact same signature.
cheers,
