I have the following problem trying to get castor to work. When I

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String xml = "<DataBean><value1>foo</value1></DataBean>";
      StringReader sr = new StringReader(xml);

      Unmarshaller um = new Unmarshaller();

         DataBean dataBean = (DataBean)um.unmarshal(DataBean.class,
is);
         System.out.println("value1 is " + dataBean.getValue1());
      }
      catch (MarshalException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
      catch (ValidationException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

How do I make my windows system recognize the castor libraries?

javac -cp %CASTOR_CLASSES%;%OTHER_CLASSPATH_ELEMENTS% mypackage1/Tester.java

or

javac -cp %CASTOR_HOME%/lib/*;%OTHER_CLASSPATH_ELEMENTS% mypackage1\Tester.java

(all on one line, of course)

RTFM:
