Take a look at this:
http://birtworld.blogspot.com/2009/12/birt-designer-classpath-changes.html
That post shows the preference to use in the designer. You can also
click on resources for the report and add a jar there, but the jar will
have to be available in the resource folder in the designer and deployed
viewer
If you added the jar to the designer classpath,
when you deploy the report to the viewer (3.7 or >) just put the jar in
the web-inf/lib.

Adding a class folder only works for folders that contain classes not
jars I believe. Take a look at the attached workspace. Unzip it and
open the workspace in Eclipse. I have two projects in it that show how
to include a simple jar with the following code:
package my.simple.example;
public class TestClass {
private String testString="My String";
public String getTestString() {
return testString;
}
public void setTestString(String testString) {
this.testString = testString;
}
}
When you look at the preferences be sure to click on the configure
project specific configuration link. One shows how to include the jar
using the classpath preference and the other shows how to include a jar
in the resource folder.
