That does not work either:
  C:\_t\Java> java -classpath ojdbc14.jar j
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: j

The "j" class is just a quick stub I use to test Java things (I
program mostly in Delphi), then I import the result into my real Java
app:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver;

public class j
{
   public static String OracleDriverName =
       "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";

   public static void main(String args[])
   {

     System.out.println("Start...");
       LoadOracleDriver();
     System.out.println("End...");

   }

 public static boolean LoadOracleDriver ()
 {
     boolean bStatus = true;

     try
     {
         Class.forName(OracleDriverName);
     }
     catch ( ClassNotFoundException ex )
     {
         System.out.println(ex);
         bStatus = false;
     }

     return bStatus;
   }
}
