Hello,I'm a java programmer who uses and loves ubuntu for it's simplicity and power.Now i want to contribute to the open source community by making some of my applications using GTK.I learnt that java-gnome API helps java programmers to write GTK enabled apps using pure java.So I did every thing as instructed on java-gnome's homepage.The problem is that whenever I compile any of my own program it compiles successfully but when i try to run it using "java" command it says "Class not found".Where am i going wrong?

Hello and Welcome!

I apologize in advance for the non-answer, but…

I would highly recommend diving into Python (http://python.org/).
It should be easy to pick up coming from java, and Ubuntu has a
nice rapid development tool for GTK/Python: Quickly (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly).

Even if you do stick with java, you will probably want to know all about Glade (http://glade.gnome.org/).
