I'm afraid I don't use Java (or very much, in fact) under Windows,
but I've just tested this in Tru64 using the final release of
Compaq's JDK1.4.0, and things seem to be working okay.

A few suggestions:

   - Try adding the jakarta-regexp.jar library -- some dependancies
     on this have crept into the 1.22 release, and could possibly
     be giving NoClassDefFoundErrors in strange places.

   - To ensure that the JAR files aren't corrupted, you could try
     downloading new binary releases.

   - It might be worth explicityly setting a CLASSPATH environment
     variable to include all the required JAR files.  This shouldn't
     actually be necessary if the jars are in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext,
     but it doesn't hurt to try.

Let me know if problems persist,

     Thomas.
