Run java applet offline: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I just downloaded some java applets from this site: http://www.surendranath.org/Apps.html to run them offline on my laptop. Take for example this one: http://www.surendranath.org/Applets/Oscillations/Lissajous/Lissajous.html

By inspecting the source code I downloaded the file: wget http://www.surendranath.org/Applets/Oscillations/Lissajous/LissajousApplet.class

Then I tried it to run it on my ubuntu box via gappletviewer-4.8 -code LissayousApplet.class

However I got the following error message:

Exception in thfully qualifiedread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: loaded class LissajousApplet was in fact named Applets.Oscillations.Lissajous.LissajousApplet

   at gnu.classpath.tools.appletviewer.StandaloneAppletViewer.<init>(libgcj-tools.so.14)
   at gnu.classpath.tools.appletviewer.Main.main(libgcj-tools.so.14)

So what is the correct way to run this applet offline? Running it online within my browser and the icetea plugin works. However I need a way to run it offline.

Edit

Trying the fully qualified class-name results in:

gappletviewer-4.8 -code Applets.Oscillations.Lissajous.LissajousApplet.class -codebase codebase="../../../"

Answer 1

Try using the fully qualified classname

gappletviewer-4.8 -code Applets.Oscillations.Lissajous.LissajousApplet.class -codebase codebase="http://www.surendranath.org/"
