running a java program in a unix terminal

I have a java program with multiple class files and they are all stored in the same folder called lab7. I coded the project in NetBeans so used "package lab7" in all the files. My main application java file is called lab7.java. Now, when i try to run this on the terminal i get "Exception in main thread: NoClassDefFoundError". I do the following inside the folder lab7.

   javac *.java
   java  lab7

I don't know why get this error. It should be some basic class path error. Thanks for the help.

Use

java lab7.lab7

You do have a lab7.java file with a public static void main(String[]) method, right?

Normally class names should start with a capital letter. So you should rename your main class to Main. If it's inside the lab7 package, run this:

java lab7.Main

This should be run in the directory that contains the lab7 directory. So if you're in the lab7 directory itself, go up one level first.
