ClassNotFoundException:scala.PreDef$ issue

Question

I am trying to package a simple executable Jar written in Scala, through Eclipse's Export function.

When attempting to execute the Jar from cmd java -jar test2.jar

I get the following error. Any ideas? Thank you.

Answer 1

You just need to add the scala library jar to the classpath.

You can do it like this (assuming that the "scala-library.jar" jar is in the current directory) :

java -cp scala-library.jar -jar test2.jar
