Executing .CLASS file

Question

Hello,
I recently had my machine reimaged and I'm trying to configure it to execute Java class files from the command prompt. After manipulating the PATH and CLASSPATH system variables I was able to get it to the point where I can compile .JAVA source code, but I still can't execute the file.
The source is named NotesExport.java. I can issue the javac NotesExport.java command successfully, but when I issue java NotesExport, it gives the following error:
Can't find class NotesExport
I've confirmed that the NotesExport.class file is indeed there so I'm confused as to why it can't be found.
Does anyone know what's wrong here?

Yes, the problem is with the import line below:
import lotus.notes.*;
public final class NotesExport extends NotesThread{ <rest of code> }I was told that in order for the import command above to work, I need to add the path to the notes.jar file in my classpath (c:\notes\notes.jar). I've done that, but it still doesn't work. I get the following error messages when I compile this code in JCreator:
--------------------Configuration: JDK version 1.1.8 <Default>--------------------
C:\SasJava\NotesExport.java:9: Package lotus.notes not found in import.
import lotus.notes.*;
       ^
C:\SasJava\NotesExport.java:11: Superclass NotesThread of class NotesExport not found.
public final class NotesExport extends NotesThread{
                                       ^
2 errors
Process completed.I'm assuming that the NotesThread class is bundled into that notes.jar file, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure what that lotus.notes.* is all about... I figured that package was part of the notes.jar file too. Since it apparently isn't finding the notes.jar file, even though I tell it where it is in my CLASSPATH, nothing is working!
