Do you have the Sun JDK installed? The Jdeveloper install probably included a JDK. It could be that after the upgrade, the first "java" in your path is the gcc java, which I am not familiar with. You may have to adjust your path/symlinks so that the correct JVM is invoked. Try running... java -version And see what it says. The command... which java Will show you which java is first in your path. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cyrus Adkisson Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 4:50 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: NoClassDefFoundError after upgrade to FC3 Correction: The error below is only if the java file is executed from the wrong directory.
