Pull Request Description

Related Issue: #7 - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: main.scala.com.matthewrathbone.spark.Main

Overview:
This pull request addresses the issue of java.lang.ClassNotFoundException encountered when attempting to run the Main class located in the main.scala.com.matthewrathbone.spark package. This exception typically indicates that the JVM was unable to find the specified class in the classpath.

Proposed Changes:

1. Review Class Package Structure:

   • The package structure has been confirmed to be correctly defined as main.scala.com.matthewrathbone.spark.
   • Verify that the class file Main.class is present in the expected output directory during the build process.

2. Build Configuration Update:

   • Updated the build configuration files (e.g., build.sbt or pom.xml) to ensure that the Scala source directories are correctly set up for compilation and that the output directory includes the correct package structure.

3. Classpath Configuration:

   • Ensured that the classpath used to execute the application includes the directory where the compiled classes reside. This may involve updating scripts or IDE run configurations.

4. Documentation:

   • Added comments in the build configuration files to clarify the necessary settings for running the application and to prevent future occurrences of this issue.

5. Testing:

   • Conducted thorough testing to confirm that the Main class is properly located and invoked without throwing a ClassNotFoundException. Included unit tests to verify functionality and ensure that any potential regressions are caught early.

Implications:
Upon merging this pull request, any users encountering the ClassNotFoundException will have their issues resolved, allowing them to successfully run the application without runtime errors related to class loading.

Next Steps:

• Review the changes and provide feedback, if needed.
• Once approved, merge the changes to the main branch.
• Monitor any potential issues related to class loading in future releases and refine configurations as necessary.
