Compiled OK but NoClassDefFoundError when running

Question

I\'m trying to send an email using JavaMail API. I have jdk 1.5 installed in my home directory from self-extracting binary. I\'m on Ubintu 9.10

I compile the program

Answer 1

That class should come from your mail.jar. I'm not sure your classpath is being parsed properly. The tilde (~) is a shell function and needs expanding before being sent to the Java process. Have you tried removing the ~ and replacing with /home/{whatever} ? I suspect that's the issue.
