Hello,
I have a problem in the application PDBtoXML.java (I work in Linux). I have the Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (v 1.4.1). I have the biojava libraries biojava-20020823.jar, bytecode-0.91.jar, jakarta-regexp.jar, xerces.jar in the CLASSPATH environment variable.
This is the error:

[jon@diana ~]$ java pdbtoXML.java 1FS1.pdb
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pdbtoXML/java

This is the script of pdbtoXML.java:

I would be pleased you could help to solve my problem. Thank you.
