Message:

Demos don't run

Posted by Raheel on February 20, 2001 at 4:22 AM

Hi,
I have a small problem but it's driving me nuts.
When I run the browser to view the applet demo--Animator from the demo/applets/Animator directory of jdk, the applet doesn't load. The status window says:"can't find java.util.List"(ClassNotFoundException)
The same happens with the blink applet where it can't find the java.util.TimerTask class. Almost all the other demos work alright. What's more, I can run the above two applets in appletviewer OK!!
Is this something to do with classpath. I have set it to c:\jdk1.3 and c:\javaprogs which is my program directory.
Any help would be great..
Thanks!!
Raheel
