Hi all, I am pretty much a newbie to running java (I have had a class, I have done
some minor tutorial programming in java). I need to generate a DTD for some XML I am
working with, and I have tried to run the DTDGenerator distributed on the Saxon site but
I am getting the following errors when I do try to run it (WinXP Home SP2):
C:\MyProject>java DTDGenerator mylocal.xml Exception in thread
"main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DTDGenerator Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: DTDGenerator at

where the dtdgen.jar file is located, and it seems to recognize that and start the
"main" procedure in the dtdgen.jar file, so why can't it find the
DTDGenerator class defined in the jar file? Thanks in advance for any help/RTFM/pointers
you can provide. Regards, Peter

Just noticed this one is unanswered - I remember answering it, but I must have made the classic mistake of replying to the notification email rather than visiting the forum itself. When Java code is held in a JAR file, the JAR file itself needs to be on the classpath. It's not enough (indeed its unnecessary) for the directory contaiing the Jar file to be on the classpath.
