For Java 1.4.2 and later: add plugin.jar to your classpath. It can be
found in the lib directory of your JRE installation, e.g.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0\lib\plugin.jar

For Java 1.4.0/1.4.1: use jaws.jar (same directory).

Clearly, the javac compiler can't 'see' the netscape.javascript package
when it tries to compile. Where are the javascript classes relative to
the program.java source code?

You need to point to the javascript classes with something like this:

javac -classpath c:\temp\netscape.jar program.java

Naturally, you need to replace 'netscape.jar' in the example with the
correct name/location of the jar.


Or use an IDE like Eclipse which has built-in facilities to make
external jars visible to the compiler; then, if you set the reference to
the external jar correctly, your problem will go away and your code will
be incrementally compiled whenever you change it.

I changed my CLASSPATH as recommended, but the JAWS.JAR file doesn't exist
for J2SDK1.4.2_07 or it's corresponding JRE download. Do you know why?
