How to run JTS Testbuilder in Mac?

Question

According to the user guide, Mac users can run JTS Testbuilder following these instructions

Add to the class path: jdom.jar, xerces.jar, jts.jar, jts_test.jar (these files are supplied with JTS)

Execute at a command prompt: java com.vividsolutions.jtstest.testbuilder.JTSTest

I have added the .jar files to /Library/Java/Extensions, as suggested in Adding to the classpath on OSX, and that would solve the first part, but when trying to execute the second sentence, it returns

Error: Could not find or load main class com.vividsolutions.jtstest.testbuilder.JTSTest
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vividsolutions.jtstest.testbuilder.JTSTest

What am I doing wrong?
