title: NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.jacob.com.ComThread
body: <p>I am running an existing application which should ideally be working fine.
  But when I run the code in my machine the following code throws an exception</p>
  
  <pre><code>ComThread.InitMTA();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Exception<code>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.jacob.com.ComThread</code></p>
  
  <p>I have jacob.jar in my class path(WEB-INF\lib) and has also placed the corresponding dll in my Windows System32 folder. Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Also my windows is 64 bit but I run the 32 bit version of java (for both project and eclipse).</p>
