虽然这可能是由于编译时和运行时之间的类路径不匹配造成的，但这并不一定是真的。

在这种情况下，记住两到三个不同的异常是很重要的:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on the classpath. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying to use the class again (and thus need to load it, since it failed last time), but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed loading it earlier (and reasonably suspect that we would fail again). The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem.

当我试图在Tomcat/JBOSS服务器上部署应用程序时，我得到了NoClassDefFoundError。我尝试了不同的依赖关系来解决这个问题，但总是得到相同的错误。标记所有javax。*依赖提供在pom.xml，和战争字面上没有依赖。但这个问题还是不断出现。

最终意识到src/main/webapps/WEB-INF/classes有类文件夹被复制到我的战争，所以不是编译类，这个类被复制，因此没有依赖改变解决问题。

因此要小心，如果任何以前编译的数据被复制，删除类文件夹和新的编译后，它工作!..

这是迄今为止我找到的最好的解决办法。

假设我们有一个名为org的包。Mypackage包含的类:

HelloWorld(主类) SupportClass UtilClass

定义这个包的文件物理存储在目录D:\myprogram (Windows)或/home/user/myprogram (Linux)下。

文件结构如下所示:

当调用Java时，我们指定要运行的应用程序的名称:org.mypackage.HelloWorld。但是，我们还必须告诉Java在哪里查找定义包的文件和目录。所以要启动程序，我们必须使用下面的命令:

我发现，当使用运行时发现的不兼容的类版本编译代码时，有时会得到NoClassDefFound错误。我记得的具体实例是apache axis库。在我的运行时类路径上实际上有2个版本，它正在挑选过时和不兼容的版本，而不是正确的版本，导致NoClassDefFound错误。这是在一个命令行应用程序中，我正在使用类似的命令。

set classpath=%classpath%;axis.jar

我能够让它拿起正确的版本使用:

set classpath=axis.jar;%classpath%;

同一项目的两个不同的签出副本

In my case, the problem was Eclipse's inability to differentiate between two different copies of the same project. I have one locked on trunk (SVN version control) and the other one working in one branch at a time. I tried out one change in the working copy as a JUnit test case, which included extracting a private inner class to be a public class on its own and while it was working, I open the other copy of the project to look around at some other part of the code that needed changes. At some point, the NoClassDefFoundError popped up complaining that the private inner class was not there; double-clicking in the stack trace brought me to the source file in the wrong project copy.

关闭项目的主干副本并再次运行测试用例可以解决这个问题。

我有这个错误，但无法根据这个线程找出解决方案，但我自己解决了。

对于我的问题，我正在编译以下代码:

package valentines;

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class StudentSolver {
    public static ArrayList<Boolean> solve(ArrayList<ArrayList<BigInteger>> problems) {
        //DOING WORK HERE
        
    }
    public static void main(String[] args){
        //TESTING SOLVE FUNCTION
    }
    
}

然后，我在/ProjectName/valentines这样的文件夹结构中编译这段代码 编译它工作得很好，但试图执行:java StudentSolver

我得到了NoClassDefError。

为了解决这个问题，我简单地删除了:包装情人节礼物;

我不是很精通java包等，但这是我如何修复我的错误，非常抱歉，如果这已经由其他人回答，但我无法解释它到我的问题。
