Program will exit</code></p> <p>PS: in the ClassFiles folder i have a lot of classname$1, classname$2 files. i don't know if it's relevant. I even have the <strong>Main</strong> with and another <strong>Main$1</strong>. </p> <p>I need to give this JAR tomorrow, so i'm quite desperate.</p> <p>Thank you in advance!</p> <pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ClassFiles/Main (wrong name: Main) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:634) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:142) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:277) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:73) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:212) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) Could not find the main class: ClassFiles.Main.
