Sorry the question is why is this error occuring I am trying to run an application inside eclipse. Any idea guys?>>

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

The error means that some class file, somewhere, is an older version than some other class is expecting. I can't tell just from the stack trace what the out-of-date class is; but try to assure that any prerequisites for "com.cmware.easydeploy" are all up to date.

[Stan James]

It's an interesting puzzle. Say class A is referencing B.field. The field was there when you compiled A or the compiler would have shown an error. But it's not there at runtime. Maybe you didn't copy the new B class that has the field into the classpath, or you got an old B class that didn't have the field from somewhere. Happens on my project now & then because we copy classes around as part of the build ... at least when everything works we do.

Hello Friends
I was trying to make a application run slowly by solving each requirement of NoClassDefFoundError
So after few additions

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/common.resources.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/ws-config-appdeploy.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>
I provided jar based on NoClassDefFound error on EObject so I added ecore.jar and then it complained about common.jar some class and the last one I added lib/ws-config-appdeploy.jar gave rise to this <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/ws-config-appdeploy.jar"/>

How can I solve this problem now??? Thanks for all your comments

[Mohamed Farouk]

Finally the addition of <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/ws-config-appdeploy.jar"/> gave rise to the below error please help

[Henry Wong]

There is no easy way to fix this. Either the libraries works, or they don't. If you have another jar file with a later version of the dependent library, then try it.
