虽然这可能是由于编译时和运行时之间的类路径不匹配造成的，但这并不一定是真的。

在这种情况下，记住两到三个不同的异常是很重要的:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on the classpath. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying to use the class again (and thus need to load it, since it failed last time), but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed loading it earlier (and reasonably suspect that we would fail again). The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem.

每个人都在这里谈论一些Java配置的东西，JVM的问题等，在我的情况下，错误与这些主题完全无关，有一个非常琐碎和容易解决的原因:我在我的控制器(Spring Boot应用程序)的端点有一个错误的注释。

对此，我的解决方案是为缺失的特定类“利用”类路径内容。在我的情况下，我有2个依赖项，虽然我能够成功地编译使用javac…，我不能运行产生的类文件使用java…，因为BouncyCastle jar中的Dynamic类不能在运行时加载。

javac --classpath "ext/commons-io-2.11.0;ext/bc-fips-1.0.2.3" hello.java

因此在编译时和运行时，JVM知道在哪里获取Apache Commons和BouncyCastle依赖项，然而，当运行这个时，我得到了

Error: Unable to initialize main class hello
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/bouncycastle/jcajce/provider/BouncyCastleFipsProvider

因此，根据类路径，我在相同的位置手动创建了一个名为ext的新文件夹，然后在其中放置了BouncyCastle jar，以确保在运行时可以找到它。只要结果清单中指定了jar的位置，您就可以将jar相对于类文件或jar文件放置。注意，我只需要利用包含丢失类文件的一个jar。

同一项目的两个不同的签出副本

In my case, the problem was Eclipse's inability to differentiate between two different copies of the same project. I have one locked on trunk (SVN version control) and the other one working in one branch at a time. I tried out one change in the working copy as a JUnit test case, which included extracting a private inner class to be a public class on its own and while it was working, I open the other copy of the project to look around at some other part of the code that needed changes. At some point, the NoClassDefFoundError popped up complaining that the private inner class was not there; double-clicking in the stack trace brought me to the source file in the wrong project copy.

关闭项目的主干副本并再次运行测试用例可以解决这个问题。

我通过禁用所有模块的preDexLibraries来解决我的问题:

dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries false
        ...

当我试图在Tomcat/JBOSS服务器上部署应用程序时，我得到了NoClassDefFoundError。我尝试了不同的依赖关系来解决这个问题，但总是得到相同的错误。标记所有javax。*依赖提供在pom.xml，和战争字面上没有依赖。但这个问题还是不断出现。

最终意识到src/main/webapps/WEB-INF/classes有类文件夹被复制到我的战争，所以不是编译类，这个类被复制，因此没有依赖改变解决问题。

因此要小心，如果任何以前编译的数据被复制，删除类文件夹和新的编译后，它工作!..
