如果您有生成代码(EMF等)，可能会有太多的静态初始化器，这会占用所有的堆栈空间。

参见堆栈溢出问题如何增加Java堆栈大小?。

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.

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;
}

确保在module:app和module:lib中匹配:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
    packagingOptions {
    }

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 11
        versionName "2.1"
    }

当我没有在项目的Java Build Path中的“Order and export”选项卡上导出一个类时，我得到了NoClassDefFound错误。确保在添加到项目构建路径的任何依赖项的“Order and Export”选项卡中添加一个复选标记。请参见Eclipse警告:XXXXXXXXXXX.jar将不会被导出或发布。可能会导致运行时ClassNotFoundExceptions。

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.
