Exception in thread

Hi,

I am a novice that is planning to learn JAVA. I downloaded J2SDK1.4.2_12 and installed it on my computer that runs Windows XP Pro SP2.

Added the J2SDK\bin in the path environment variable.

I copied a sample program from a book Shuams outline.

class Hello {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, World!");

}

}

The program is savedin separate working directory other that of J2SDK's.

The code compiles with out an error.

when I run the program, the following error messge appeared:

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello "

I could not get any help from any of the documents that I read.

Can any one help!

Thanks.
