As indicated on the download page, your IDE is just fine. If all of the JARs
indicated on the download page are in your CLASSPATH, then you will be able
to compile without difficulty. The classes that you mention are all classes
located in the Cryptix JARs... make sure you did in fact put these in your
CLASSPATH.

The increased number of JARs shipped with E are a direct result of its
increased functionality. You need: e.jar, of obvious use; oromatcher.jar,
Mark added this for pattern matching in E; swingall-1.0.3.jar, the Swing JAR
for E GUI stuff; ijce_0-0-11.jar, spt_0-0-9.jar, alg_0-0-9.jar, the Cryptix
JARs for strong encryption (I don't know why these classes are in 3 separate
files, they just are).

I'm sorry you're having so much difficulty installing. It shouldn't be any
more difficult that modifying your CLASSPATH.
