This is a FAQ:

You can't use the raw "javac" command, you need to use the
"javacswarm" wrapper to setup all the paths to the shared library that
contains the JNI-wrapped Swarm functions.  To see what environment
variables are set/used by the "javacswarm", wrapper, simply type
"javacswarm" without any arguments.  Ditto the above for running the
Swarm app via the Java interpreter, in this case replace "java" with
"javaswarm".

You should also look at (and modify for your own use) the "Makefile"
that comes with the mousetrap application to see how Java swarm apps
are normally compiled.  To use a "Makefile", just type "make".
