windows/XP

I got past my first problem.

I put the downloaded itext jar file in the
jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\ext directory and HelloWorld.java now
compiles.

But now when I got to run it, I get this error:

C:\jtjava>c:\jdk1.5.0\bin\java c:\jtjava\HelloWorld
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: c:\jtjava\HelloWorld
C:\jtjava>

The HelloWorld.java source was taken from the itext
examples with no changes made. It looks like this:

/*

package com.lowagie.examples.general;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

/**
* Generates a simple 'Hello World' PDF file.
*
* @author blowagie
*/

public class HelloWorld {

 /**
  * Generates a PDF file with the text 'Hello World'
  *
  * @param args no arguments needed here
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {

   System.out.println("Hello World");

   // step 1: creation of a document-object
   Document document = new Document();
   try {
     // step 2:
     // we create a writer that listens to the document
     // and directs a PDF-stream to a file
     PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
         new FileOutputStream("HelloWorld.pdf"));

     // step 3: we open the document
     document.open();
     // step 4: we add a paragraph to the document
     document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
   } catch (DocumentException de) {
     System.err.println(de.getMessage());
   } catch (IOException ioe) {
     System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
   }

   // step 5: we close the document
   document.close();
 }
}

Any ideas on what I need to do to get this running?

Thanks.
