Java Programming - Import Element.jar

Question

Really need help here, hope any java gurus can assist me in this. I'm trying to run a simple programme here:
import element.*;
class MethodDrawing
public static void main(String[] args)
DrawingWindow d = new DrawingWindow(500,500);
d.moveTo(100,100);
d.lineTo(100,150);
After compiling I got an error saying "Package Element does not exist.
After some researches, I understand that I need to set my CLASSPATH to the jar file. Thus, I did the following;
- I inserted element.jar in the directory "c:\cis109\element.jar".
- Program directory "c:\cis109\javacourse\
exercise1\MethodDrawing.java"
- I also set CLASSPATH variable to "c:\cis109\element.jar;c:\javacourse;.\
After all I've done the same error occurs. I'm running on WinXP. Any solutions ?

Hey Guys! I am having the same problem. I have come to a real dead-end. Did you manage to work out what the problem is?
Was hoping to get past Chapter 5 today but I have tried everything and can't get anywhere. That CLASSPATH thing is driving me demented!Ok, I assume you're on Windows 2000, XP or Vista (English language).
1 - copy the file MethodDrawing.java* and elements.jar into C:\Temp;
2 - open your command prompt by pressing the 'Start' button, select 'Run', type "cmd" and press the button 'OK';
3 - on the command promt, navigate to C:\Temp:cd C:\Temp4 - compile your java-file: javac -cp .;elements.jar MethodDrawing.java5 - run the compiled class-file: java -cp .;elements.jar MethodDrawingIf you do this exactly as I posted, it will work.
* the file MethodDrawing.java should look exactly like this:
import element.*;
public class MethodDrawing
    public static void main(String[] args)
        DrawingWindow d = new DrawingWindow(500,500);
        d.moveTo(100,100);
        d.lineTo(100,150);
}I even uploaded all files necessary to run that code snippet (I also have that book by D. Bailey). You can find it here:
