Can you compile the class "manually" - i.e. javac Hello.java ?
One thing I've noticed under NT is that you have to add jar files
seperately - simply dropping them into the lib directory of the jdk
installation doesn't work. (i.e. you need to set the classpath using
classpath=.;c:\myclasses\servlet.jar;)
