How do you get Weisstein’s Hyphenate package to run?

Question

I've put Eric Weisstein's Hyphenate.m package in $UserBaseDirectory/Utilities; installed the requisite texhyphj files in my local texmf tree; run its Makefile to create the Java classes corresponding to the distributed .java source files; and in Hyphenate.m set $HyphenPath to the path for texhyphj. Yet when I load the package, I get a Java ClassNotFoundException error for the Java class net.davidashen.text.Hyphenator.

What am I doing wrong or also need to do to get this add-on package to work?

(The package provides a functions that hyphenate a given string and list the syllables of a string.)

P.S. Yes, WordData[word, "Hyphenation"]will give a list of syllables for word, but I would expect using Java for this may be quicker, since no delay is involved in going out to the WRI server to import the needed word data paclets.

The package comments contain the following information:

Requirements
Download and install http://www.davidashen.net/texhyphj.html in $HyphenPath = "/Volumes/Users/eww/tex/texhyphj";

The package relies on this external Java code, and will not run without it. It needs to be downloaded separately, and put in the same folder as the Hyphenate.m file. Then, you modify the following code line from the package:

$HyphenPath="/Volumes/Users/eww/tex/texhyphj";

to refer to the path of the files on your own system.
