I am using eclipse-helios to learn and try out some hibernate tutorials . I am having issue of " classes not found errors " during run time of my code on all these jars listed below even though the User Library I have created has all these jars in it.

Here is my set up.

I have created a User Library in eclipse( called HibLib) and added all the third party jars required by the Hibernate. These jars are as follows.
antlr-2.7.6
commons-collections-3.1
dom4j-1.6.1
hibernate3
hibernate-commons-annotations
javassist-3.9.0.GA
log4j
slf4j-log4j12
cglib-2.2
ejb3-persistence
hibernate-annotations
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final
jta-1.1
slf4j-api-1.5.8
derbyclient

Then I added the HibLib to the Build Path of my project in the eclipse.
With this arrangement, I can compile my code fine. However , during run time none of these jars are getting added to the classpath there by resulting in "Class not found " errors. Only way I can get rid of these error is to add all the above jars to my jdk installation directory.
C:\OS\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\jre\lib\ext .

Is there any way to make the User Library HibLib to be added to the class path during runtime so that I do not need to add these jars to the jdk installation directory .

Appreciate any help here.
Thanks,

Make sure to select the jars in the Build Configuration Binary Build before you do the export.

Eric, thank you.. But there is no such thing as export in the Eclipse environment. All I can do is to add the User library you created to the Build path, which I have done.

thanks.

If you double-click the plugin.xml file or the MANIFEST.MF file on the Package Explorer the editor will open. Select the Overview tab and under the title "Exporting" click the "Build Configuration" ( number 3). The Build Configuration page opens, and under "Binary Build" check your jar files.

Thanks Eric. I was able to resolve the issue.
