Java KeyboardReader Problem

[Andrey:)]

Hello guy, iam newbie with Java and trying to learn.
I was expiriwncing problems with KeyboardReader method. So i thought it was due to old version of Java libs but i have updated them all . Whenever i write some program where KeyboardReader method needs to be used, after succsesfull compilation the program gives me this eror :


[root@localhost Java]# javac KbRdPr.java
[root@localhost Java]# java KbRdPr
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: while resolving class: KeyboardReader

Could it be Because of my KeyboardReader.class file is in the same directory or does it need to be placed in particular directory?
Please help newbie.:)

You're talking like KeyboardReader is a method but it seems to think that it should be a class. I don't see the class in the api. If it's a third party thing that your using then you need to make sure it's in your classpath. Do you want to paste some code?

[Andrey:)]

So how do i do that ?

[Shakes]

Actually I don't thnk that your classpath will be wrong since ti compiled. Can you copy and paste your code or attach it as a file?

//
//To check functionality of keyboardreader


class KbRdPr

{
public static void main (String args[])
{
KeyboardReader kb = new KeyboardReader();

double a, b, c;

System.out.println("Please Enter Number:");
a=kb.getDouble();
System.out.println("plese again:");
b=kb.getDouble();
c=a*b;
System.out.println("result:" + c);
}
}


This is the program that iam tring to run. The KeyboardReader.class file atached as i downloaded alrerady compiled . Could that be a problem? :confused:

Finaly
I sorted it out:
i needed to download The update form Sun for J2SE(TM) Runtime Environment 5.0 .
The information found here http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html#Java found EXTREMLY USEFULL.

And i kept the KeyboardReader in the same directory:)

Thanx for your help.
