package statement

[sumit kothalikar]

see the following code

It is in food directory

 

package food;  // line 1

public abstract class Fruit{

 public abstract void  doStuff();
  
  public static void hello(){
    System.out.println("Fruit class It''s cool");
              }
    
     public static void main(String [] args){
    hello();

       }

     }
  

This code compiles but gives runtime excepion as Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Fruit (wrong name: food/Fruit)

If i remove line 1 code compiles and runs succesfully why is it so please somebody explain it
and also please tell that how should i run the above code using java command.

Thanks in advance

If you are running your class as java food/Fruit, then try java food.Fruit

[mr Morena]

change your current directory to one upper level from food.

directory structure :

.-- // you should be here
|
|
- food
Fruit.java
.
.

- some directories

then run :

java food.Fruit

Thanks Ankit and mr morena

I moved one directory up and run the program using java food.Fruit
and it worked

it compiles and runs
