ClassNotFoundException while running MissingPokerCards on ec2 Instance - hadoop

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try to run jar file -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: finalPoker.MissingPokerCards
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:360)

The following code is my MissingPokerCards program which will count the number of missing cards from the deck of 52 cards.
package MissingPokerCards;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;
public class PokerCardsProgramme {
//Mapper function
//Reduce funtion
//Main function
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Configuration config = new Configuration();
Job job = new Job(config, "Search for list of missing Cards");
job.setJarByClass(PokerCardsProgramme.class);
job.setMapperClass(mapper.class);
job.setReducerClass(reducer.class);
job.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));
job.waitForCompletion(true);
}
}
Compiled code using - javac -classpath /home/ec2-user/hadoop_home/hadoop-1.2.1/hadoop-core-1.2.1.jar PokerCardsProgramme.java
Jar is created by using following command - jar cvf MissingPokerCards.jar PokerCardsProgramme*.class
Jar file is ran using - hadoop jar MissingPokerCards.jar MissingPokerCards.PokerCardsProgramme \input\inputcards.txt output
My Hadoop version is 1.2.1 and java version is 1.7.0_241
Even I tried using a different version of Hadoop-2-7-3
hadoop jar /home/ec2-user/hadoop/hadoop-2.7.3/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core-2.7.3.jar MissingPokerCards.PokerCardsProgramme inputcards.txt /output
Still facing the same issue. I think I am missing the PokerCards function related jar file.
Can anybody please help me with this problem. Am I using the correct command to compile and run the program or else is there any way to execute the MissingPokerCards program on ec2 instance.
I am able to run the same code in eclipse but when I tried to execute on ec2 it is showing this issue.

The error has nothing to do with Hadoop or EC2. This is just a regular Java error. If you really want to run Hadoop code in AWS use EMR, not EC2 instances
Your package is MissingPokerCards. The error says it's finalPoker
Your class is PokerCardsProgramme. Your error says it's MissingPokerCards
FWIW, not many people actually write mapreduce nowadays, but you definitely should be using Hadoop 2 or 3 with Java 8, not 1.2.1 with Java 7
