I am getting this error while executing:
exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

where am i going wrong?

Your error message should also indicate which method does not exist. Which one is it complaining about?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:main

this is the error which I am getting

Are you executing "testcircle"?

i executed all three:

java testcircle circle CircleShape

There is your problem. You can't execute all three because testcircle is the only one with a main method. On top of that, I don't think you can execute more than one class at once with the java command. Just change it to java testcircle

OMG! you are right....I got the answer..thanks a lot!

Yeah, no problem. Ezzaral basically handed me the easy solution though. :p Mark the thread as solved. . ? (I haven't solved one in a good while. . lol)
