The system cannot find the path specified - Problems

843789Jul 18 2010 — edited Sep 14 2010
I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can help figure out for me.

I am currently learning Java, and am working with the Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies book second edition. I have downloaded and am running the Java 6 program and am using the JCreator 3.5Pro that was recommended to run the Practice files for the Dummies book.

I have the practice files here:
C/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3/My Projects

While trying to compile one of the practice files, I get this error message:

--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_mynewproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)

Process completed.

**When I try to execute, I get this error message:**

--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EchoLine
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: EchoLine
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: EchoLine. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.


When I set up the new file, and the new class, I confirmed the file path.

I know most people will ask if I am absolutely certain I put in the code in properly, and yes I did. It was a matter of copying word for word, and punctuation. I did it 100% correctly. About 12 times. I have NO idea what this means, but I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help on this.

Please keep in mind, I am slightly clueless, and really need to have any help dumbed down a bit. Lol.

As a side note, this isn't my first project, and I haven't had this problem before now.

thanks in advance. =)
