Here's the forum link that also discusses this problem

> My app's java classes all live in:
> com/visassist/cuelinereader
> such as
> com/visassist/cuelinereader/CueLineReader.java

> package com.visassist.cuelinereader;
> so CueLineReader.class is a packaged class.
> Starting it up on a 'java' line requires me to

>> In comparison, the Quadmore java/jni/c setup does

>> As of 1.4, I believe, it is no longer possible to mix
