I have a basic program where I compile the java code and then run it.

I can not seem to run the code for some reason.

1.) Here is my code

class HelloWorld
{

  public static void main( String[] args)
  {
    System.out.print("This is Java");
  }

}

2.) I then type in javac HelloWorld.java
and this works. I end up getting a HelloWorld.class.

3.) then I type in java HelloWorld and this does NOT work.

I get an error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld/java

Can someone please tell me what is wrong. I am really confused since I know
I am able to compile
ok, just cannot run the program.

Thanks for any help on this matter.
