RE: this is killing me - NoClassDefFoundError

Since you are running on Wintel platform, you might as well create a batch file & add the following lines   set path=c:\jdk1.3\bin set classpath=c:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;c:\jdk1.3\xerces-1_3_0\xerces.jar ; <the-dir-where-your-java-class-files-exits>   execute this batch file on the dos window that you are running & then do a javac src.java & java src. Hope this helps.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 7:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: this is killing me - NoClassDefFoundError All I'm trying to do is try out Xerces.
