deploying a java application (maybe as a *.jar?) 1

[biot023]

Hallo -- I've written a small Java application which runs fine from the IDE (Eclipse), but which I can't run from the command line.
The error I get is this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DirFlattener (wrong name: dirflat/DirFlattener)

Could this be because I shouldn't have put my main class in a package? Should maybe the application class be in the default package?

& how do you normally deploy a java application? Making it into a *.jar file? Does anyone have any links to tutorials or FAQs about this?
Thanks alot,
doug.

Yes, create a jar file.

How are you running it from the command line ? Make sure you include the package name :

java dirflat.DirFlattener
