Trying to get jdbc to work

Setup is postres on one machine, java client on another, very simple code:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class SimpleConnection {
static public void main (String args[]) {
Connection connection = null;

if (args.length != 4) {
System.out.println("Syntax: java SimpleConnection DRIVER URL UID
PASSWD");
return;
}
try { // load the driver
Class.forName(args[0]);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
try {
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(args[1], args[2],
args[3]);

System.out.println("Connection succesful!");
}
catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try {
connection.close();
}
catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/java/lib/classes.zip:/usr/share/java/postgresql.jar:.

Error message:

/export/home/markm/Java/test > java SimpleConnection org.postgresql.Driver
jdbc:postgress://l2/template1 markm xxx
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/ArrayList
at org.postgresql.core.ConnectionHook.<init>(ConnectionHook.java:53)
at
at
at SimpleConnection.main(SimpleConnection.java:16)

I built Postgresql myself with the java option. OS is Linux, JDK1.3

Any ideas???
