New user question.
I'm using Textpad with simple files on a Windows 98 box and I cannot get them to run. I load the HelloWorld.java file into Textpad then Tools-> Compile Java and it creates a nice .class file. I go to Tools-> Run Java Application and I get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld in the DOS window. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Does your file HelloWorld.java contain the method
public class HelloWorld
?

Hi:

Make sure that the location where the .class file has been saved is in your CLASSPATH variable. Better yet, add a '.' (dot) to the CLASSPATH, that way your current directory will always be part of the path.

Hope this helps.

In Preferenses...Tools...Run Java Applications. are the paths to the source and java files correct: it should be set to:

"Initial Fodler" should be set to : $FileDir

Yea.. and inside the class mentionned abouve you need a Main method.
Please also note that the file must have the same name as the class. (case sensitetive)
file named test1.java should include:

public class test1{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello Mattias!");
}
}
