Note. The source code line who throws the exception is https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u/blob/jdk-11+28/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/jca/ProviderConfig.java#L244 — Happy, Dec 20 '21 at 08:11

Ah, please try to search the log, it is possible a ExceptionInInitializerError was happened before, so this time the JVM throws NoClassDefFoundError directly because it was failed last time.

Need to get the call stack of the original ExceptionInInitializerError (if it exists) in order to fix this issue.

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u/blob/jdk-11+28/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/jca/ProviderConfig.java#L308 - the class ProviderConfig$ProviderLoader was defined inside OpenJDK 11 so it is not likely to a Java classpath issue

For this problem not very clear why occur. in order to fix the problem. we can manual use Security.addSecurity method to load jca or analogous component again. like BouncyCastle. now it work fine for me.

I was using Java 11 and the project was build using Java 1.8. Once I switched to Java 1.8 it worked fine
