java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/context/ApplicationContext with executable jar

Project runs fine in Eclipse running as an application. When trying to run the jar that is built by Maven I get the following error:

The jar file contains all of the libraries in the lib directory:
Libraries in the jar file
The manifest file has the library spring-context-4.3.2.RELEASE.jar in the classpath and the other 11 that are Maven dependencies.
Class-Path: . lib/spring-jdbc-4.3.2.RELEASE.jar lib/spring-beans-4.3.2

Any advice?

Jar file execution issue?

I am using this command to run my jar file
java -cp otpreq.jar com.otp.req.SendRequest
and its giving error-:

Why this error is coming I can't figure out .
I checked the Library and org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/RequestEntity is a Interface.

Assuming you have the http-client.jar:
java -cp otpreq.jar:http-client.jar com.otp.req.SendRequest
If O.S is windows, replace : by ;
Note: the newest httpclient is not located at apache commons, but at apache http components

You have to include all the supporting jars in class path (command line itself).
Or bind all your supporting jars inside otpreq.jar.
Either one of these will solve this issue.

Executing jar file throws class not found error

Using Eclipse, I am modifying a Java project we have been using for years. a specific class method is typically executed by sending a message through IBM WebSphere MQ. However, I now have a need to develop some new functionality and I need to be able to test it out side the MQ world.
I am able to successfully debug the application in Eclipse, but if I attempt to execute the jar file from a command prompt I receive the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: XMLBuilder/Node

My build is done using an ant script. This does not include a Class-Path attribute when creating the manifest.
The XMLBuilder.jar file is included in the target jar. Running jar -tf file.jar shows

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF)
... Omitted for Brevity ...
XMLBuilder.jar
What might I be missing?
Thank you

Add required jar to classpath like this:
For *nix-like systems:
export CLASSPATH=<path-to-app>/myapp.jar:<path-to-app>/lib/json.jar:.
java MyApp
For Windows:
set CLASSPATH=<path-to-app>/myapp.jar;<path-to-app>/lib/json.jar;.
java MyApp
...or via manifest:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: MyApp
Class-Path: /lib/json.jar

Java programs cannot run after downloading opencsv

I downloaded the opencsv (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacsv/files/latest/download) and since then I have been getting this error with all my Java programs
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloWorld
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
Exception in thread "main"
How can I fix this? I realized I didn't need the opencsv anyway...how can I remove it so that my programs can compile and run as usual? I'm using Eclipse Version: 1.4.2.20120213-0813

You can remove a plugin by going to Help->About (or Eclipse->About on a Mac), choosing installations details, selecting the plugin you wish to remove, and choosing 'Uninstall'.
