Dave,
Thanks for working this one out. Just one question though:
Why is the trailing "\" (backslash) necessary in your CLASSPATH? I think
that "." should suffice for saying "the current directory" - even on Window=
s.
When I eliminate the trailing backslash, it works fine (No ending semi-colo=
n
is necessary).
At least this seems to be the advice in the Java bug database here:
