I have a Java Swing app (desktop app) that is attempting to communicate with
a website using HttpClient. When I run this app from within the IDE the HTTP
communications works flawlessly. When I attempt to run the app from the
command line the HTTP communication fails with a
java.net.UnknownHostException

Any Ideas?

Here is the code snippet:

                        String googleUrl = "http://www.google.com/";;
                        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                        GetMethod get = new GetMethod(googleUrl);

                        int iGetResultCode = client.executeMethod(get);
                        final String strGetResponseBody = 
get.getResponseBodyAsString();

Here is the Exception I am seeing...

java.net.UnknownHostException: www.google.com
