[rules-users] Still can't create a standalone application

[MarkA]

That still hasn't fixed it. I can now compile it with javac without errors
but it still gives noclassdeffound error when it runs.

At least I now have your example that does work, so I am going to modify it
bit by bit until I find out where my mistake is. My initial one was created
with the wizard in eclipse so I'm not sure what has happened!

Anyway, I will persevere and post the results in case anyone else needs
pointers.

Thanks all.

Mark.
