Cant run a java that sends email using mail.jar

ralexrdz · 01-29-2013, 02:02 PM

Im trying to run in a Linux Server with Tomcat a simple java to send emails.

I have the myClass.java and the mail.jar on a directory

I already did:

Code:

# javac -cp mail.jar myClass.java

and return no error, but...

when I try to run it like this:

Code:

java myClass

I get this error:

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.Authenticator
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
Could not find the main class: myClass. Program will exit.

Its strange, beacuse I run it exactly like that on Windows and it works. I also try to do a simple class with just a System.out inside and it run,

but i dont know why im not getting the Authenticator class, if I already check that it is contain in the mail.jar

thanks! ^^

is javax.mail.Authenticator in your classpath?
