Make sure you have all the classes and the libraries you need in the classpath. In eclipse, you have this information on the Build Path. — Daniel H.

I suspect you're running in a directory of com/mindcraft/queryExecutor/actionclass

Instead, you should be running in the root directory (i.e. the parent of com), like this:

java com.mindcraft.queryExecutor.actionclass.testClient

@happy: I very much doubt that you're getting the same error, if you ran exactly what I said. Of course, you've hardly given us any information, which makes it hard to go on... you haven't told us how you're building, what you're trying to run etc.

run the .class file from root directory with full name space. i.e, if your class is in com.test package as com.test.App.java in your src then on compiling its class file will have a qualified class name as full name. i.e, com.test.App.class

So from your root/src run it as java com.test.App in command line.
