NoClassDefFoundError without a class name

Question

I'm not quite sure if this is specific to Sun Java Systems Application Server but there are occasions where I run into a NoClassDefFoundError where the class in question, the one not found, is not mentioned in the error.

Does anyone know what conditions would lead to a NoClassDefFoundError being raised without specifying which class was not found?

Edit: Java 1.4

Hi there

I am getting this error (i.e. without a class name) for Java 6, as far as I know. I am running an ant task in Eclipse and it chokes throwing "NoClassDefFoundError" without any class name. I am not sure how to even begin debugging this. Please HELP ! ! !
