Could not find or load main class Sample.java

I have a java file Sample.java in my directory.

when compiling and running, it works fine.

    javac Sample.java
    java Sample

works fine.

but when I try to list out the loaded classes with java -verbose:class command it throws me error with other loaded classes listed.

    java -verbose:class Sample.java

Error: Could not find or load main class Sample.java

Note: checked my package… packages are correct.

>Solution :

You need to use the fully qualified name of that class – lipackagename.packagename2.packagename3.ClassName

Or try this, remove java in your class name – java -verbose:class Sample
