Check the names and the exact spellings (upper/lower case). When you say the java-compiler gives this message do you really mean the Java runtime?

add the lib directly to your project - make a folder "res" and inside there a folder "lib". That's common practice.

Then add the lib to your project (right click on Project -> properties -> build path -> libraries -> add...).

You can als add other files to that folder "res" like images, print templates, translation files and all stuff like that.
