You've been messing with the project's properties directly?

You'd find if you used your approach with any other plugin projects
you'd have the same problem. When building Eclipse applications you
should NEVER modify the classpath directly via the project's
properties. You should ALWAYs edit the MANIFEST.MF's dependencies.
That's because the MANIFEST.MF is used to control the classpath both at
development time and runtime, so if you bypass it, you'll fix your
development time problems only to have them come back as runtime.
You need to package your external jar as a bundle so you can create
bundle dependencies on it, or include it in one of your existing bundles
(not such a great approach).
