java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException when trying to run Jar job on Elastic MapReduce

Question

What should I change to fix following error:

I'm trying to start a job on Elastic Mapreduce, and it crashes every time with message:

The class NewMaxTemperatureMapper is declared and I've checked, it is included in the jar, which is than located at s3. Here's the code for all app classes:

NewMaxTemperature.java:

package iataho.mapreduce;

import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;

public class NewMaxTemperature {
/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println("Usage: NewMaxTemperature <input path> <output path>");
            System.exit(123);
        }
        Job job = new Job();
        job.setJarByClass(NewMaxTemperature.class);
        FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

        job.setMapperClass(NewMaxTemperatureMapper.class);
        job.setCombinerClass(NewMaxTemperatureReducer.class);
        job.setReducerClass(NewMaxTemperatureReducer.class);

        job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
        System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

}

NewMaxTemperatureReducer.java:

package iataho.mapreduce;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;

public class NewMaxTemperatureReducer extends Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {
public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<IntWritable> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    int maxValue = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
    for (IntWritable value : values) {
        maxValue = Math.max(maxValue, value.get());
    }
    context.write(key, new IntWritable(maxValue));
}
}

NewMaxTemperatureMapper.java:

package iataho.mapreduce;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;

public class NewMaxTemperatureMapper extends Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {
private static final int    MISSING = 9999;

public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    String line = value.toString();
    String year = line.substring(15, 19);
    int airTemperature;
    if (line.charAt(87) == '+') { // parseInt doesn't like leading plus
                                    // signs
        airTemperature = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(88, 92));
    } else {
        airTemperature = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(87, 92));
    }
    String quality = line.substring(92, 93);
    if (airTemperature != MISSING && quality.matches("[01459]")) {
        context.write(new Text(year), new IntWritable(airTemperature));
    }
}
}

I've made the jar file with which I'm getting this crash avaliable here: download jar

Check the jars you are including when executing the application. Add more info to the question about this please.

Ok. The problem was that I've used eclipse option "Package libraries into generated JAR". I changed it to "Extract generated libraries into generated JAR", and now it works fine
