ClassNotFoundException: watij.runtime.ie.IE

[computer guy]

I'm having trouble getting Watij running on my machine. I copied the
DLL to my System32 folder, and put the path to the JAR in my
CLASSPATH. I wrote a simple program to test it out:

import watij.runtime.ie.IE;
import static watij.finders.SymbolFactory.*;

public class GoogleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
IE ie = new IE();
try {
ie.start("http://www.google.com");
ie.textField(name,"q").set("Watij");
ie.button("Google Search").click();
} catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("An exception was
found"); }
}
}

It compiles fine, but when run, I get the following:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: watij/
runtime/ie/IE
at GoogleTest.main(GoogleTest.java:6)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: watij.runtime.ie.IE

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Your classpath should contain the JAR file. For example, if the
watij.jar file is located at C:\watij_3.2.1\lib\watij.jar then you
need to put C:\watij_3.2.1\lib\watij.jar in your classpath. If you put
JUST C:\watij_3.2.1\lib it will look for C:\watij_3.2.1\lib\watij
\runtime\ie\IE.class and it will not look inside the jar file.
