Yes, I do notice some slight differences in GUI, but I'm not concerned about
those for now.
It's really pretty straightforward. The CLASSPATH is not the issue as
transferred class files fail but recompiled source succeeds with the same
CLASSPATH. I copied the files across using a DOS floppy disk and the linux
mcopy program. The files were copied in jar's, first a jar with the class
files and then a different jar with the source files.
A key clue is this: When we get the NoClassDefFoundError, the class it is
looking for is package.xxxx1.class. No such class exists, but package.xxxx
is the class containing the main
method.
