I followed the instruction and again it failed to run the application.
However, it's unsaid that location of the ".class" file should also be
listed in "-cp" option. At least it worked fine for me.  I tried it in
Windows, so I'm not sure if it's required for Unix OSes, but it
appears that working directory isn't used by "java" for classpath
searching.
Jonas, I'd suspect you have environment variable CLASSPATH setup in
your system or something like that, that doesn't require you specify
the path to .class file.

In the end, it has nothing to do with ppcvmj, but rather than usage of
"java" application :)
I added a small note to Quick Start feel free to delete it anyway.

thanks,
Dmitry
