    Can't run my class file in terminal

    This is my code:
    Code:
    package mie250;
    
    import java.io.*;
    
    
    public class project1 {
    	
    	public static void main(String[] args) throws NumberFormatException, IOException {
    		
    	    double GROWTH_RATE = 1+0.0111-0.00774+0.00563;
    		
    		System.out.print("JAVA POPULATION PREDICTOR\n");
    		
    		BufferedReader cin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in ));
    		
    		System.out.print("Enter current population:");
    		double pop = Double.parseDouble (cin.readLine ());
    		if (pop < 0) {
    			System.out.print("\nERROR: Population size must be positive!\n");
    			return;
    		}
    		
    		System.out.print("Enter number of years in the future:");
    		int yr = Integer.parseInt(cin.readLine());
    		if (yr < 0) {
    			System.out.print("\nERROR: Number of years must be positive!\n");
    			return;
    		}
    		
    		int i;
    		double pop1 = pop;
    		
    		for (i=1; i<=yr; i++){
    			pop = pop * GROWTH_RATE;
    			System.out.format("Year %d: %.4f\n", i, pop);
    		}
    		
    		System.out.format("Over %d years, the population grows to %.4f, a %.2f%% growth rate.", yr, pop, (pop-pop1)/pop1*100 );
    		
    		
    	}
    
    
    }
    And this is what happened when I was trying to run the class file in terminal.
    localhost:mie250 joyce$ java project1
    Code:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: project1 (wrong name: mie250/project1)

    	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)
    And I can run the code perfectly in eclipse, but just not in terminal.
    Can someone give some suggestions?
    Thank you very much!!!!

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    I'm moving your thread to the Programming Talk subforum for better visibility.

    Re: Can't run my class file in terminal:((((((!!!!!!NEEED HELLLLP!!

    Is your class file in src/java/mie250/project1.java?

    Remember Linux filesystem is case sensitive. By convention your class name should be capitalized, so it would be src/java/mie250/Project1.java and public class Project1.

    One problem with Eclipse is it silently corrects a lot of bad behavior. It shouldn't do that.

    Re: Can't run my class file in terminal

    To start you code:
    - the "project1.class" file should be a directory named "mie250"
    - the current directory should the parent of "mie250"
    - the program can then be started with "java mie250.project1"

    As noted above, the Java naming conventions say that your class names should have an initial Capital.

    What's your command line to run this? Maybe you're missing something like a classpath specifier to the src/java directory?
