Thanks for the extremely rapid response (and please excuse my extremely
slow "thankyou").  The problem was indeed an anomalous "package demos;"
statement at the top of the program.  This must have been a vestigial
piece of code left over from the authors' package tree.  Commenting out
this statement fixed the code and it now runs perfectly using:

"java bounce"

as it should.  I now have an excellent java development environment in
which to design my project.  Thanks to Sun and the FreeBSD team for such
a wonderful set of tools!!!

Tom
