If it used Maven, then it would at this point have downloaded everything
you needed. Of course, it would have downloaded it from the internet, which
you seem to find objectionable for some reason, yet here you are, looking
for a way to download these files in painstaking manual steps from the very
same internet.

Apologies, it is findjar.com, not jarfinder.com. I haven't used it ever
since I left Ant behind so my memory was a bit hazy.

I'm honestly surprised that you are stumped by what even a cursory
knowledge of Java should have made trivial - simply remove the missing jars
from the class path, compile, and you will get the names and package names
of classes that are missing.

I agree. Luckily, the rest of the development world agreed that dependency
management was a pain, and came up with a solution:
<http://maven.apache.org/>

Sorry for the cheek, but you do seem to be primarily complaining that
nobody has invented Maven yet ;-)

Liebe Gruesse,
