I am having a terrible time getting this code to work. I either get an exception at main or a jd2xx not in java.class.path

I am relatively new to java and am using NetBeans as my IDE. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a peek at the code and tell me how to get in running in NetBeans or even via command line.

When I run the test application I get this:
>

java -Djava.library.path=".." -cp "../jd2xx.jar;." TestListener
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TestListener
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestListener
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)

    at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)

CODE HERE[] is found at the bottom here

I have included two versions of the jd2xx source code from two project that have it working. All I should need is the jd2xx.jar and jd2xx.dll and it should work.

In my project (I just copy-pasted the TestListener.java into a NetBeans project) have the jar included in my libraries and the IDE can resolve functions inside it but when I try to run it it gives jd2xx.jar not in java.class.path. My jar manifest says:

<pre lang="vb">Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.1
Created-By: 1.6.0_22-b04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: Test.Run
Class-Path: lib/jd2xx.jar
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build

And under ./dist/ theirs my jar and jd2xx.jar in in ./dist/lib

Help is appreciated, I bet its just an environment variable or something that's messed up...

package test;

		jd.addEventListener(tl);
		jd.notifyOnEvent(JD2XX.EVENT_RXCHAR | JD2XX.EVENT_MODEM_STATUS, true);

		Thread tester = new Thread(tl);
		tester.start();

		try { Thread.sleep(15*1000); }
		catch (InterruptedException e) {
			System.out.println("InterruptedException");
		}

		jd.notifyOnEvent(~0, false);
	}

	public void jd2xxEvent(JD2XXEvent ev) {
		JD2XX jd = (JD2XX)ev.getSource();
		int et = ev.getEventType();

		try {

				int r = jd.getQueueStatus();
				System.out.println("RX event: " + new String(jd.read(r)));
			}

				System.out.println("Modem status event");
			}
		}
		catch (IOException e) {
			System.out.println("IOException");
		}
	}

	public void run() {
