Adding libraries to a plugin [message #28772]

I'm creating a plugin, which references a number of other JAR files. I
have these files stored in a "lib/" directory immediately beneath the
project root. I've updated the plugin.xml file with lines of the form
<runtime>
...
<library name="lib/jdom.jar"/>
...
However, the plugin gets errors like
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/Element
when run in the runtime workbench. I've even tried using absolute paths,
such as
<library name="c:/BuilderPlugin/Builder Plugin/lib/jrun.jar"/>

Obviously, I need to do something more to make these JARs available. Could
someone point out what that is?

The JARs have to be in the project root directory.

Sure enough, moving them up a level, and changing the references, worked.

Thanks.
