Trying to run JMeter server only (RMI problem)

[Stephane Richard <st...@yahoo.com>]

Here is the error on which I already spent a lot of time as well as few
other people: 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.jmeter.engine.RemoteJMeterEngineImpl_Stub
 
I'm trying to run JMeter in a distributed environment
(jmeter-server.bat) but it fails to start when looking for the
org.apache.jmeter.engine.RemoteJMeterEngineImpl_Stub class. 
I've verified that the compilation didn't produced any error or that the
class file was properly generated.
I've looked at posted notes and TODO subjects but nothing mentioned this
problem.
 
I'm using JMeter 1.7beta3 on a Windows XP machine with jdk 1.2.2.

Anybody has an idea?
