The simplest reproductor for this issue is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class A extends B {
public static void main(String... args) {}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class B {}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$javac -d out A.java B.java
$rm out/B.class
before this patch this command:
$java -cp out A
produces this output
Error: Could not find or load main class A
with the current patch, the output produced is:
Error: Could not find or load main class A
because class B is not defined.
if while loading the main class ClassNotFoundException is produced
then the second part of the message will be: "because class Foo is not
defined."
if NoClassDefFoundError is produced then it will be: "because class
Foo is not defined"
It's good that "B" is shown in the output but "because class B is not
defined" looks very strange to me. Have you consider something more
useful like:
Error: Could not find or load main class A
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: B
