Answer 1

• Error : Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

• Why getting this error ?

  This is caused when there is a class file that your code depends on and it is present at compile time but not found at runtime. Look for differences in your build time and runtime class paths.

How to solve this ?

• I think this will solve your issue.
