Great, the documentation is not apparent about explicitly specifying *every*
.JAR that's needed.  Perhaps this is asking way too much, but why can't a
directory(s) be specified which can then be parsed for the referenced .JARs ? 
Hasn't this been the case with the C/C++ compilers for specifying INCLUDES &
LIBS ??

But I'm willing to learn, so I'll accept the answer and move on.  All I want
right now is to be productive with JAVA, and not get bogged down with details
related to the tools.

I used Symantec Cafe over a year ago, but I would now like to focus on
learning & deploying on Linux.  Since I now have your attention, here are 2
more questions:

Question 1
----------
appletviewer ApptoAppl.html

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JLabel
	at kaffe.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:418)

Do I need an explicit CODEBASE parameter in the HTML file that points to
/usr/local/share/kaffe ?

Question 2
----------
javac -version -classpath
.:/usr/local/share/kaffe/swingall.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/kjc.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/tools.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar
SwingUI.class

KOPI Java Compiler Version: 1.3C

javac  -classpath
.:/usr/local/share/kaffe/swingall.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/kjc.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/tools.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar
SwingUI.class

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: antlr/collections/AST
	at at.dms.kjc.Main.beautifyParseError(Main.java:692)
	at at.dms.kjc.Main.parseFile(Main.java:488)
	at at.dms.kjc.Main.run(Main.java:119)
	at at.dms.kjc.Main.compile(Main.java:449)
	at at.dms.kjc.Main.main(Main.java:432)

What am I missing here ??
