Humm, that should not happen. I am willing to bet that for
some reason the class is not being found by the Java
runtime.

I don't think so. Could you provide more info, like the error that
is printed? Also, if you could provide a simple example
that does not work, that would really help.

I am willing to be you are running into some strange issue
that only happens when in your environment. This sort
of thing is almost always caused by CLASSPATH problems
or something to do with classloaders.

You can test to see if a given class is visible
from inside Jacl or Tcl Blend like so:

% java::import java.util.Hashtable

% java::import java.unknown
can not import class "java.unknown", it does not exist
