The magic number in a Java class file is the first four bytes: 0xCAFEBABE 
(cute, huh?). One of the first things a class loader would do is check 
those bytes. You could check them yourself with a hex editor, but since 
it ran OK in JBuilder, that's probably not the problem, unless you copied 
the file from your JBuilder development machine to your web server using 
FTP in ASCII (instead of binary) mode; that would mangle the file.
