Yes. I put the jar in my classpath. To accomplish this, I used the
-classpath option in java. Then, as an alternate, I updated the CLASSPATH
environment variable. I did this in both DOS and UNIX. And I had colleagues
try to get the jar to work under 1.4.2. One colleague also spent time
extracting the classes from the jar and putting the classes in the class
path.

According to this site, ...

http://www.jroller.com/sjivan/entry/difference_between_classnotfoundexception_and_noclassdeffounderror

... you don't want to confuse ClassNotFoundException with the
NoClassDefFoundError error. NoClassDefFoundError indicates that the class
CommandLineParser was found by the ClassLoader. However, when trying to load
the class, the ClassLoader ran into an error reading the class definition.
So I am assuming the problem is not in the class path. If it was a problem
with the class path, I would get the ClassNotFoundException.

IMHO, NoClassDefFoundError is hard to debug.
