Java Communications API NoClassDefFound
I know this is a fairly common problem as I have thoroughly researched it on the internet. When in runtime of any program using the Communications API I get the NoClassDefFound error. I know this is due to either an improper install of the API or an incorrect classpath. However, I can't for the life of me get it working. I'm using Windows XP and I've tried using the command prompt and specifying my classpath using "java -cp [path of comm.jar]; MainClass", however I still get the NoClassDefFound error. I'm beginning to think though that I don't have all of the needed files and/or they are not all in their proper place. I first noticed that several articles I read on the internet mentioned the files win32com.dll and javax.comm.properties. These files did not come in the generic download for the Communications API. I found and downloaded them from other sources; however, I'm afraid they are not current or correct versions of the files. I've also read several different directory paths in which I should be putting these files .I have tried most of them, and still no luck. If someone could provide a link to the correct files I need and the proper directories to put them in, it would be greatly appreciated.
