Either you distribute multiple jar-files, and make sure the referenced jar-files are mentioned in the classpath in the manifest of your application.

However, since you say "include" I suspect you want to "merge" the jar files into a single jar file. In that case you need to merge the jars using software such as OneJar or FatJar.

Additional possibility with Maven: Create a [jar-with-dependencies](http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html#jar-with-dependencies). – Thomas Aug 17 '11 at 12:31

If the OP is using Eclipse, he/she should have a "make fat-jar" option when right-clicking the project. – Raveline Aug 17 '11 at 12:33

Check whether the jar is there in the classpath.
