So you're saying that reading the documentation is not a good idea?

You asked specifically for help understanding the issue. Another respondent had 
given you a recipe for repair; I did not see any point in wasting your time 
repeating his good advice. However, that only answered part of your question. 
You also asked, "Can someone help me understand why this is happening?" I am so 
very sorry I took your question seriously and tried to answer it more fully.
I guess I was under the assumption that you actually wanted the information 
that you requested.

Your answer showed no signs of you having read or understood the very basic 
need in Java to have the JAR present at runtime as well as at compile time.
Under the circumstances, telling you what to research and where seemed 
appropriate. Now, untwist your knickers, please.

With that level of response to the help you received, I doubt it.
