Why is it called JTiText1.3.jar?
What does this JT mean???

Now I see.
You don't know the concept of Java packages.

HelloWorld is in a package com.lowagie.examples.general
This means the CLASSPATH must point to
c:\jtjava (or . you have this right)
but the HelloWorld.class must be in
c:\jtjava\com\lowagie\examples\general\
and you have to run the example like this:
java com.lowagie.examples.general.HelloWorld
(just like you should have compiled it like this:
javac com/lowagie/example/general/HelloWorld.java )

Anyway: if you had started from the start
and used the ANT build file, you wouldn't have
had this problem, because all paths are set in ANT.
Please don't try to run before learning to walk.
