下面的技巧帮助了我很多次:

System.out.println(TheNoDefFoundClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation());

其中nodeffoundclass是可能会“丢失”的类，这是由于您的程序使用相同库的旧版本的首选项。当客户端软件被部署到一个占主导地位的容器中，并配备了自己的类加载器和大量最流行的库的古老版本时，这种情况最常发生。

当运行时类装入器装入的类不能访问已经由java rootloader装入的类时，我得到NoClassFoundError。因为不同的类装入器在不同的安全域中(根据java)， jvm不允许已经由rootloader装入的类在运行时装入器地址空间中被解析。

使用'java -javaagent:trace .jar[你的java ARGS]'运行程序

它产生显示已加载类的输出，以及加载该类的加载器env。追踪类为什么不能解析是非常有用的。

// ClassLoaderTracer.java
// From: https://blogs.oracle.com/sundararajan/entry/tracing_class_loading_1_5

import java.lang.instrument.*;
import java.security.*;

// manifest.mf
// Premain-Class: ClassLoadTracer

// jar -cvfm tracer.jar manifest.mf ClassLoaderTracer.class

// java -javaagent:tracer.jar  [...]

public class ClassLoadTracer 
{
    public static void premain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation inst) 
    {
        final java.io.PrintStream out = System.out;
        inst.addTransformer(new ClassFileTransformer() {
            public byte[] transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, Class classBeingRedefined, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, byte[] classfileBuffer) throws IllegalClassFormatException {

                String pd = (null == protectionDomain) ? "null" : protectionDomain.getCodeSource().toString();
                out.println(className + " loaded by " + loader + " at " + new java.util.Date() + " in " + pd);

                // dump stack trace of the thread loading class 
                Thread.dumpStack();

                // we just want the original .class bytes to be loaded!
                // we are not instrumenting it...
                return null;
            }
        });
    }
}

当我将另一个模块的Maven依赖添加到我的项目中时，我得到了这个错误，这个问题最终通过添加-Xss2m到我的程序的JVM选项来解决(自JDK5.0以来默认是1m字节)。人们认为程序没有足够的堆栈来加载类。

下面是演示java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError的代码。具体的解释请看Jared的回答。

NoClassDefFoundErrorDemo.java

public class NoClassDefFoundErrorDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // The following line would throw ExceptionInInitializerError
            SimpleCalculator calculator1 = new SimpleCalculator();
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            System.out.println(t);
        }
        // The following line would cause NoClassDefFoundError
        SimpleCalculator calculator2 = new SimpleCalculator();
    }

}

SimpleCalculator.java

public class SimpleCalculator {
    static int undefined = 1 / 0;
}

这也可能是因为您从具有特定包名的IDE复制了代码文件，并且希望尝试使用终端运行它。您必须首先从代码中删除包名。 这种事发生在我身上。

Java中的NoClassDefFoundError

定义:

Java虚拟机无法在运行时找到在编译时可用的特定类。 如果一个类在编译时存在，但在运行时在java类路径中不可用。

例子:

The class is not in Classpath, there is no sure shot way of knowing it but many times you can just have a look to print System.getproperty("java.classpath") and it will print the classpath from there you can at least get an idea of your actual runtime classpath. A simple example of NoClassDefFoundError is class belongs to a missing JAR file or JAR was not added into classpath or sometimes jar's name has been changed by someone like in my case one of my colleagues has changed tibco.jar into tibco_v3.jar and the program is failing with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and I were wondering what's wrong. Just try to run with explicitly -classpath option with the classpath you think will work and if it's working then it's a sure short sign that someone is overriding java classpath. Permission issue on JAR file can also cause NoClassDefFoundError in Java. Typo on XML Configuration can also cause NoClassDefFoundError in Java. when your compiled class which is defined in a package, doesn’t present in the same package while loading like in the case of JApplet it will throw NoClassDefFoundError in Java.

可能的解决方式:

The class is not available in Java Classpath. If you are working in J2EE environment than the visibility of Class among multiple Classloader can also cause java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, see examples and scenario section for detailed discussion. Check for java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError in your log file. NoClassDefFoundError due to the failure of static initialization is quite common. Because NoClassDefFoundError is a subclass of java.lang.LinkageError it can also come if one of it dependency like native library may not available. Any start-up script is overriding Classpath environment variable. You might be running your program using jar command and class was not defined in manifest file's ClassPath attribute.
