[jdom-interest] Attribute instantiation woes

[Cem Karan]

I know that this is somewhat offtopic, as it deals with Visual Age for
Java, but as it also deals with JDom, I'm going to ask here anyways.

I am trying to make an instance of Attribute that I will eventually add
to an Element node.  As a test case, I have this fairly simple code:

import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.adapters.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;

public class AttributeMaker 
{
	public AttributeMaker() {super();}

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Attribute tempAttrib = null;
		tempAttrib = new Attribute("a","b");
	}
}

which always throws a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.  Any thoughts?
