how do you configure eclipses startup routine? I have a external jar file
that I want eclipse to use but if I add it in the java build path in the
preferences under window it still won't find it. If I include it in a
project in the projects build path it will find it and use it in the
runtime workbench. What am I missing?

There is a workaround for this problem. The jar file I was trying to use
is the mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar for connection with JDBC to a
MySQL database on a Linux machine. Instead of including the jar file in
the build path and launching it in the workbench I included the source
code of MySQL connector in the build path and export that and it works.
The source code was all in the com folder of MySQL. I don't know if it
will help but if you can't your functionality out of a JAR file when you
export it in eclipse, try and use the source code folder instead.
