netbeans: Class path in Class.forName

I wrote a chat java application that use sockets. I have three Netbeans project, 1. Client side, 2. Server side and 3.Tester. projects Hierarchy

In the Tester I want to start a Thread for Server class.

public class Tester {

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    //for (int i = 0; i<args.length; i++) {
        final Class clazz = Class.forName("ServerSide");
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try{
                Method main = clazz.getMethod("main", String[].class);
                main.invoke(null, new Object[]{});
            } catch(Exception e) {
         // improper exception handling - just to keep it simple
            }
        }
        }).start();
   // }
}

}

but I always obtain ClassNotFoundException. Is the path wrong? Thanks a lot. Sorry for the stupid question!

You must include also the package into the required classname parameter:

Class.forName("serverside.ServerSide");
