Hello Jack,

I too encountered this error a while back. I believe the solution was to upgrade to JDK 1.3.1. If you do try this for lack of a better option, I suggest 1.3.1_04 because I've read about and experienced some funky incompatibility with 1.3.1_02 or less. (The funk was that the ClassLoader was not recognizing/finding a ton of classes leading to a stream of ClassDefNotFound errors.) I have no experience with 1.4.0 so I can't speak for that though I expect it would work too.

Good luck and please let us know if that clears it up so others will know whether or not to do the same.
Thanks,
Ryan
