Executable jar can't find classes in secondary jar on classpath.

I am trying to create an executable jar for a eclipse swing project, but no class in the swing-layout-1.0.3.jar will load.

Why can't java find the classes in the extra Jar?
As far as I can tell the classpath inside the jar is correct but I haven't gotten anything working yet so what do I know.

On execution here's the error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdesktop/layout/GroupLayout$Group
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout$Group

Here's the directory for the testpojo.jar.
