strange thing.
I was Java running 1.4.2_02 on Mandrake 9.0 without problems and then suddenly following error appeared:
count = 4364, total = 9381
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
and since that. I can't run Java and get the same error everytime I try to run it.
I tried seting new environment variable CLASSPATH to <java_dir> and <java_dir>/src.zip and adding <java_dir> to PATH (which at the moment contains only <java_dir>/bin/), but it didn't help (still the same error.)
I searched forums to see if there was any solution, and even though isssue of similar error appeared couple times, I didn't find any usable explanation+solution.
P.S. general notice: It would be very helpful, if Java messages were less cryptic and more informative (maybe providing some suggestion how to fix the problem). I think it would solve a lot of issues (on this forum as well) that were caused only by undesipherable message given by Java.
