Problem with iText api

I am getting the following exception

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/Element

In a nutshell this is the code:

import com.lowagie.text.Document;

import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

I put a breakpoint before the following code (but the debugger never gets there...) it like it stuck on something above. Control never coming to the following statements.

Document document = new Document();

PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("HelloWorld.pdf"));

document.open();

document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));

document.close();

Any idea?.... Did anyone ever encounter this?

Thanks in advance
