================================================ Troubleshooting

Some common problems:

• Can't find class AntLabMain This is usually from your Main-Class entry in the jar manifest. Remember that with packages, you must use the fully qualified name (package_name.class_name) not just the class name by itself.
• Can't find class AntLab31 This class is defined in the resources.jar in your library directory. This is caused by your classpath for compilation or execution not containing a reference to this jar.
