I did; as I said, it didn't work for me (Class Not Found)

I do indeed use MS IE.  As do a number of other people.  Any solution,
or demo, should work with all of them.  My experience with client-side 
Java is that it's a nightmare (try mucking with Mac browsers' VMs).

Why the desire to make this work on the client side?  Just put in a 
'check addresses' button, which will resolve addresses via an LDAP
lookup.  This is what the Outlook Web Client does, and it works 
remarkably well.  We use this paradigm with the spell checking,
and there haven't been any attempts to make _that_ client side!
