How can I fix a java.lang.ClassFormatError: Truncated class file error?
<p>I'm trying to use Sublime Text 2 on my Mac in order to write my code for a class I'm taking. I want to test to make sure I can do this first with a basic program, however I'm coming up with an error when I try to run it. I have the build system set to JavaC, and the code is compiling fine, it's just when I try to run it I get issues. Here are my steps:</p>

<pre><code>$ cd Documents/school/algorithms/assignments/
$ javac Hello.java
$ java Hello

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Truncated class file

</code></pre>

<p>I've tried to research what this means but I'm coming up short. Here is my code for <code>Hello.java</code></p>

<pre><code>public class Hello {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>If anyone can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need anymore information.</p>
