I am trying to compile the HelloWorldApp program after creating the
HelloWorldApp.java file. But, I keep getting this message:
 Error occured during initialization of VM
 java/lang/NoclassDefFoundError:java/lang/object
Please help me.

Thanks,
Chris


yes

The first thing to do is to check that you have correctly set your classpath and path settings.

If you are not used to packages, be sure that you are in the directory of the file.
If you are using packages like "com.mypackage.myjavafile.java" you have to be in the directory that contains the com directory

Please check your classpath setting. It will do the work or otherwise go to bin directory and from ther try it out.
