Hi, m400.   I'm suspecting a problem here with the path to the class; it always seems to be a bit of a fight (with libraries, jars, classpaths and (in olden days) classdirs) to sort out what goes where and how it can be seen.  As a next step, I would tend to extract the .class that you want  from the download and (on a very temporary basis) put a copy in your curren folder and see if you can see it that way - splitting the problem in two if you like.
