<P>
Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a <code> ClassLoader </code> instance
Tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call
Or as part of creating a new instance using the <code> new </code> expression)
And no definition of the class cocould be found.
When a Java virtual machine or ClassLoader Instance tries to load the definition of a class (a new instance can be called normally or using a new expression ),
This is thrown when the definition of this class is not found.
<P>
The searched-for class definition existed when the currently
Executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be
Found.
The class definition searched for when the current execution class is compiled exists, but cannot be obtained at runtime.
