[antlr-interest] What's this NoClassDefFoundError nonsense?

[Oti]

Stephen,

IMHO you cannot mix -classpath and -jar options when starting the java VM.
Either say
  java -jar your_jar
and add the other necessary .jar files to the classpath in the
MANIFEST of your_jar,
or put every .jar file after the -classpath option and indicate the
main class on the command line.

HTH a little.

Best wishes,
Oti.
