What classloader environment are you running in ? OSGi ?
NoClassDefFoundError means that the Class was found but the byte array
associated with the class could not be loaded (hence no definition).
If the class is not in your classpath, then you will normally get a
ClassNotFoundException.
The only time I have seen a NoClassDefFoundError is
a) when the jar is corrupt or
b) in OSGi where there is no bundle import (in the manifest) on the
package in question.
OSGi classloaders apply rules to finding and loading classes, you may
be in an environment with similar rules.
