此错误可能是由未检查的Java版本要求引起的。

在我的案例中，当我构建一个备受瞩目的开源项目时，通过使用SDKMAN从Java 9切换到Java 8，我能够解决这个错误。

sdk list java
sdk install java 8u152-zulu
sdk use java 8u152-zulu

然后按照下面的描述进行干净安装。

在使用Maven作为构建工具时，在禁用测试的情况下进行干净的“安装”构建有时是有帮助的，而且通常是令人满意的。

mvn clean install -DskipTests

现在已经构建并安装了所有内容，您可以继续运行测试。

mvn test

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.

3种方法解决NoClassDefFoundError

noclassdeffounderror问题模式

我从SRC库中删除了两个文件后得到了这个消息，当我把它们带回来时，我一直看到这个错误消息。

我的解决方案是:重新启动Eclipse。从那以后我就再没见过这条消息了:-)

每个人都在这里谈论一些Java配置的东西，JVM的问题等，在我的情况下，错误与这些主题完全无关，有一个非常琐碎和容易解决的原因:我在我的控制器(Spring Boot应用程序)的端点有一个错误的注释。

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。

        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;
            }
        });
    }
}

当静态初始化器试图加载一个在运行时不可用的资源包时，也会发生NoClassDefFoundError，例如受影响的类试图从META-INF目录加载一个属性文件，但不存在。如果你没有捕获NoClassDefFoundError，有时你将无法看到完整的堆栈跟踪;为了克服这个问题，你可以临时为Throwable使用一个catch子句:

try {
    // Statement(s) that cause(s) the affected class to be loaded
} catch (Throwable t) {
    Logger.getLogger("<logger-name>").info("Loading my class went wrong", t);
}
