So far all you've done is specify the compile-time classpath.

Because you did not provide the JAR to the runtime classpath!

You need to study the Java tutorial.

Your expectations are what are at fault.

You must provide the dependencies *at run-time*.

We can tell you why this is happening; we cannot help you understand it.

It means, in practical terms, that you neglected to provide the applet with 
its dependencies. Consider Knute's question:

Presumably he linked you to ancient docs to make the point that nothing has 
changed in this area for a very long time.

You should read the tutorials and other documentation.
