I got an email as such:
I think your problem it's about class loading. When calling something
like Class.forName("MyClassHere") (ex: when loading jdbc driver) you
should have your class.jar in your class path. Either compile your
program with -cp option, specifying your path to your compiled
class.jar or just put in your CLASSPATH enviorment variable the path
to those classes/jar.

I thank you for showing how to use Class.forName for ones own class.
The point was that I just found it easier to change the code thus.
Nothing wrong with that is there?
