Ray,

The output is not standalone java - there is a runtime library that must 
be available both at compile time and run time.

The various jars that you need at that point are all encapsulated in the 
antlrworks jar, so if you refer the javac compiler to that jar via the 
-cp option and when you run the code refer the java command to that jar 
via CLASSPATH or -cp then everything will work as advertised.

You are getting those undefined errors because the compiler has not been 
told where to find them.

You need:

javac -cp "c:\antlr\antlrworks.jar" x.java y.java

And the equivalent at runtime.
