Make a habit of googling for your exceptions, too: [link|http://www.google.com/search?q=%22java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError%3a+HelloWorldApp/class%22|"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp/class"] (this works because it's a common tutorial name, apparently)
With respect to your "every tutorial" comment, go to the horse's mouth:
