so i've been teaching myself java and at work over the past few weeks have been playing with some code on the pc i work on. i downloaded the jdk and everything works as expected.

so i finally had free time at home (weird that i have the time at work and not home...women) so i wanted to play some with the code i've been working on and learning with. so just to make sure everything is working i type:

Code:
public class Hello
{
        public static void main( String[] args )
        {
                System.out.println("look at me...");
        }
}

...into vi and then compile it with "%javac Hello.java" and it compiles properly and then i go to run it with "%java Hello.class" and boom, i get this error:

Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello/class

anyone know what this means? it's just a simple console app with no necessary libraries that i have to import...what gives? i recreated the file in project builder and figured it would attach any required files but i get the same error in the run dialog.

any insight would be appreciated...
thanks

It's looking for the class "Hello.class", like "java.lang.String". You just want the class "Hello", so you should do it like this:

Code:
% java Hello

It seems a little counterintuitive, I know, but that's how it works.
