The error is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Now the Obvious reason of NoClassDefFoundError is that a particular class is not available in Classpath, so we need to add that into Classpath or we need to check why it’s not available in Classpath if we are expecting it to be.

Now the files that I have added to the classpath are the following.

export CLASSPATH=$(JARS=(./lib/*.jar); IFS=:; echo "${JARS[*]}")
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpclient/4.0.1/httpclient-4.0.1.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpcore/4.0.1/httpcore-4.0.1.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
export CLASSPAHT=$CLASSPATH:~/ms_thesis/ONOS/httpcore-4.1.jar
#export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/ms_thesis/ONOS/lib/httpclient-4.2.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/google-gson-2.2.4/gson-2.2.4.jar

What jar file should I add to find "org/apache/http/params/SyncBasicHttpParams" I am very new to java and don't know how to debug this issue.

org/apache/http/params/SyncBasicHttpParams class is under httpcore-4.1-alpha1.jar , which can be downloaded from

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpcore/4.1-alpha1/httpcore-4.1-alpha1.jar

In future if you need to find a jar for a class, then you can use this link, this is generally helpful:
