JDK 1.1.x is kinda stupid because it can't find the builtin stuff on its own. You have to include classes.zip in the CLASSPATH environment variable or in the -classpath option. (If you don't specify a -classpath option jdk1.1.8 can find classes.zip on its own). The 1.2.2 and newer JDKs are smarter because they can find the builtin stuff (renamed to rt.jar) on its own even when you specify some other things with the -classpath option. HTH, -D
