java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

I am getting this exception even if I have exactly same top level public class name and the filename.

The exception is:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
...../common/util/email/PostEmail
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.breeze.common.util.email.PostEmail
      at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
      at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
      at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

And the class def is:
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Multipart;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class PostEmail {

.......

public static void main(String[]args){
//class is instantiated and used here
}

}

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

It is looking for PostEmail to be in a package, and so you must have a line in your class def to say that it is in this package. So add the following line to the top of your PostEmail.java file...

package com.breeze.common.util.email;

I already had that package import but issue was caused by some other(unknown). I just recreated my clearcase view and issue goes away.
