noob q: Can't start applet
Hi everybody, 
want to make a first little applet, but can't start it. Can someone please h
elp. The java code:
code:
package guiVE;

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Label;

public class SimpleApplet extends Applet {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	/**
	 * This is the default constructor
	 */
	public SimpleApplet() {
		super();
	}

	/**
	 * This method initializes this
	 * 
	 * @return void
	 */
	public void init() {
		this.setSize(300, 200);
	
	}
	
	/**
	 * This method initializes this
	 * 
	 * @return void
	 */	
	public void start() {
		this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		this.add(new Label("Hello Applet"), Label.CENTER);
		
	}
	
}


The HTML code looks like this:
code:
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta content="">
    <style></style>
  </head>
  <body>
	<applet code="SimpleApplet.class"></applet>
  </body>
</html>


When I try to start it with firefox or konqueror, I get this failure message
 from the console:
code:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SimpleApplet (wrong name: guiVE/SimpleApplet
)

Would be real great, if someone could explain what that means and what I did
 wrong.
