Problem with Classpath and/or Eclipse

["Richard Casey" <casey_r@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm using the Eclipse IDE to develop an application that uses the Toolbox
driver (com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver) to connect to and update a
database on the AS/400. It runs fine from within Eclipse. However, if I
export my application and try to run it directly from Windows, I get the
dreaded "ClassNotFoundException" when I try to register the driver with
DriverManager.

jt400.jar is in my classpath. I've tried exporting to a jar file and using
"java -jar myjar.jar" and have also exported the individual class files and
used "java myapp". The application's GUI interface comes up, but when I
click on the button that actually makes the connection, I get the
ClassNotFoundException. I've also tried the -classpath option on the java
command to no avail.

Any suggestions? FYI I'm using JDK 1.4 and the JTOpen toolbox.

Is it possible to extract the necessary classes from jt400.jar and put them
in my jar so I can just distribute a single file?

Thanks in advance!
