java runs fine with 'absolute' path, doesn't run with CLASSPATH specified

my program is in package pl.edu.uj.tcs.crazySocket; due to some requirements. I work in the crazySocket directory. In order to compile the program I use command

CLASSPATH=~/prog/colosseum/data javac tictactoe.java

and that succeeds. I want to run the program. I change javac to java and get rid of the '.java'. I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: tictactoe
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tictactoe
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)

when I get up in the tree directory to the ~/prog/colosseum/data and run java pl/edu/uj/tcs/crazySocket/tictactoe all works fine.

What's wrong with the CLASSPATH? Shouldn't it work both with javac and java?

There's nothing wrong with your classpath, it's your call to java that's wrong.

You need to specify the full qualified class name pl.edu.uj.tcs.crazySocket.tictactoe.
