That still hasn't fixed it. I can now compile it with javac without errors but it still gives noclassdeffound error when it runs.
At least I now have your example that does work, so I am going to modify it bit by bit until I find out where my mistake is. My initial one was created with the wizard in eclipse so I'm not sure what has happened! Anyway, I will persevere and post the results in case anyone else needs pointers. Thanks all. Mark.
