If a class has a Japanese (SJIS encoding) class name, it cannot be loaded by the loader.  Here is how to reproduce:

1. On Windows 2000, open "Regional Option" in the Control Panel
2. Select "Japanese" in "Your locale(location)" pull down.
3. Unzip the attached archive into some directory.
4. Run the batch file, with a path to the JDK directory, e.g.,
    "nihongo x:\jdk1.4\win"
5. It fails to load the Japanese class with the following error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ??????

I attached a screen shot (nihongo.jpg) for your convenience.

EVALUATION The problem is in java.exe ###@###.### 2002-05-23 The problem is indeed in <java> launcher. We do not convert <char* classname> we receive from the command line to utf8 format. Error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is produced by the vm as a result of trying to compare the name of the main class received from the command line with the one it gets from .class file. ###@###.### 2002-10-08 Closing as dup of 4761384. ###@###.### 2003-10-21
