Netbeans: what should the user directory be??

[MacFan26]

I've just installed the latest Netbeans (3.6) and my programs are all compiling with NoClassDefFound errors. I know this has to do with my directory settings, but I can't figure it out. I've checked on the Netbeans help site, but can't find it either. Anyone know?

I use Netbeans 3.6 too. And my user directory is in my documents folder. documents/java/sampedir.
Are you able to compile your program from the terminal?

my user directory is also documents/java/sampledir. I can compile documents only from within the "examples" folder of the sampledir. I can compile from the terminal, although it gives me the same error when I try to run it. (that's just java -program right?) I'm figuring it's something to do with mounting filesystems, how can I mount a folder so that I can compile the programs from the inside?
