The code is completely valid too. Don't know why it doesn't work for you. — dumbPotato21, May 12 '17 at 13:15
@SiddhantParekh No, the error is `NoClassDefFoundError`. Possibly, you could fix it by reading more about it [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17973970/how-to-solve-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror) — dumbPotato21, May 12 '17 at 13:19
In my case the `NoClassDefFoundError` is for the classes provided by jdk. — Siddhant Parekh, May 12 '17 at 13:25
Does it compile and run if you remove the System.out.println line? — brt, May 12 '17 at 13:33

I think there was some problem with the jdk package. I completely removed the packages and did a clean install, and the code worked correctly.

make sure you don't use the openjdk version but the one provided by oracle:

java -version

should print e.g.

java version "1.8.0_151"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)

and NOT

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)
