    Default Very New Programmer - NoClassDefFoundError - How Can I Fix My Problem?

    I was so intrigued by the Java language that I wanted to learn the language, pretty simple. So, I followed this guys tutorial and it was very nice and up to the point where you have to run the java file I get an error.

    This is the link to the tutorial followed:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u8rFbpdvds&feature=fvwrel


    Here is what is in the oranges.java in the Test folder in the C drive.
    class oranges{
    	public static void main(String args[]){
    		System.out.println("Hello Youtube");
    	}	
    }

    This is the error I receive:


    Please remember that this is the first time I've EVER attempted to try to learn Java and I know there will be humps in the way but that's why I am here! Thanks guys!

    Have you first tried compiling the code by calling javac oranges.java?

    Try stating the classpath when you run the program, something like:

    java -cp . oranges

    (note the period between -cp and oranges as it is very important)
