I am trying to use IRSIM with Electric. In the command window, my current directory has the electric binary and IRSIM binary. I run:
>java -classpath "electricBinary-8.09.jar;electricIRSIM-8.09.jar" com.sun.electric.Launcher
just like in the documentation online.

I get this error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com

Could not find the main class: com.sun.electric.Launcher.  Program will exit.

In electric I can not select the option of doing IRSIM like in the tutorials.

Can you use the same command to start Electric without IRSIM?  That
is, can you type:

     java -classpath
"electricBinary-8.09.jar" com.sun.electric.Launcher

This is testing whether your jar file is corrupted.

If this works, then are you using the correct separator character (you
use ";" but some systems need ":").

Finally, can you connect multiple jar files with this technique? 
Try downloading the bean shell and make it the second jar file in that
command.
