Re: Simple test Java app runs fine under Eclipse, and from a WinDoze command line, but fails on the 400.

I have a simple Java 6 test program, just one class:

import java.nio.charset.*;
public class Test18jn2012 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "I like Spam.";
byte[] bytes;
bytes = str.getBytes(Charset.defaultCharset());
for (int i=0; i< bytes.length; i++) System.out.print(bytes[i] + "
"); System.out.println();
}
}

It executes just fine in Eclipse. It executes just fine on a WinDoze
command line, even if I move it to a different directory from where I'd
compiled it into.

But when I FTP Test18jn2012.class to the IFS root on our 400, and I try
java Test18jn2012
from either a regular command line or a QShell command line, I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: (Test18jn2012) bad major version at offset=6

and if I try
JAVA CLASS(Test18jn2012) CLASSPATH('/qibm/ProdData/Java400/jdk6')
I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test18jn2012

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but WHAT?
