miffed and need help to run application

[gg]

I was playing with some free java code but I was miffed.

In the current working directory, I have xyz.jar and a subdirectory
coresrvlets. The classes of the package coreservlets are naturally all in
the subdirectory coreservlets. Furthermore xyz.jar has the library that some
of the coreservlets classes may cay on.

I can't run the ShadowedTextFra me class from the current directory with
java -classpath .;xyz.jar coreservlets\Sh adowedTextFrame
nor
java -classpath .;xyz.jar;cores ervlets coreservlets\Sh adowedTextFrame

( I get something like
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoCla ssDefFoundError :
coreservlets\Sh adowedTextFrame (wrong name: coreservlets/ShadowedTextFra me)
at java.lang.Class Loader.defineCl ass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class Loader.defineCl ass(ClassLoader .java:486)

)
However, I could run an applet which calls the above ShadowedTextFra me from
the current directory like this
appletviewer ShadowedText.ht ml
where ShadowedText.ht ml has an applet tag like this
<applet
code=coreservle ts\ShadowedText Applet.class
name=ShadowedTe xtApplet
archive=xyz.jar
width=320
height=300 >
<param name="MESSAGE" value="TEST text shadow">

</applet>
What do I need to do so I can run the ShadowedTextFra me class directly with
the java command?
ShadowedTextFra me.java looks to me perfectly like a regular swing java
application to me with its main. and the source code is as follows

The package coreservlets;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.* ;

import java.awt.event. *; // for the listeners
/** Interactive interface to MessageImage class.
* Enter message, font name, and font size on the command
* line. Requires Java2.
* <P>
* Taken from Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages
* from Prentice Hall and Sun Microsystems Press,
