can't find in classpath, but only when running from the jar file

I'm trying to run a Java class in a jar file.  The jar file contains this class:

    com/exacttarget/wsdl/partnerapi/PartnerAPIStub.class

The manifest looks like this (not indented).

    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.4
    Created-By: 1.7.0_03-b04 (Oracle Corporation)
    Main-Class: com.exacttarget.wsdl.partnerapi.PartnerAPIStub

All the main class does is print "hello world".  It works (prints "Hello World") if I do this in the classes directory...

   java com.exacttarget.wsdl.partnerapi.PartnerAPIStub

This same class is definitely in the jar file as demonstrated by this command...

    bash-4.1$ jar tf PartnerAPI-test-client.jar |grep Stub.class
    com/exacttarget/wsdl/partnerapi/PartnerAPIStub.class
    bash-4.1$ 

but when I try to run the jar, with the environment exactly as it was when I ran the class separately, using this command...

   java -jar PartnerAPI-test-client.jar

I get this error output...

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
    org/apache/axis2/client/Stub

Obviously I'm missing something.  Any help would very much be appreciated.
