How to Fix the ClassNotFound Exception in Java
When you run a Java program, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) needs to load various classes to execute the program. The java.lang.ClassNotFoundException occurs when the JVM tries to load a particular class but doesn’t find it in the classpath. One of the most common reasons for the ClassNotFoundException is missing third-party libraries. Double-checking that all necessary dependencies are included in the classpath and that the classpath is correctly configured can prevent this exception.
