This happens when the dependencies that your installation needs aren't found in the same place you're executing the initial JAR (or not in your class_path). — George Stocker, Sep 09 '14 at 13:30
Thanks George...You are right I just found and placed those JAR files. — sudhakaranR87, Sep 09 '14 at 13:51

The NoClassDefFoundError happens because the dependencies the executing JAR file is looking for aren't in the same place as where you're executing that JAR from. Or (and this is where I'm fuzzy), they aren't set in your class_path so that the runtime can find them when it executes this JAR.

I encountered this recently when trying to run OpenGrok; I was executing the JAR using its fully qualified path (java c:\opengrok\opengrok.jar) instead of setting my current working directory to c:\opengrok and executing java opengrok.jar).
