New to Java

Hi all,

I'm trying to include an external HttpClient JAR in a project I'm working on in Eclipse. I've already added it as an external JAR via Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries and referenced it with import statements. However, it does not appear to work and I'm getting the following warnings:

Classpath entry C:/xampp/tomcat/webapps/commons-codec-1.3.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.
Classpath entry C:/xampp/tomcat/webapps/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.
Classpath entry C:/xampp/tomcat/webapps/httpclient/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.
Classpath entry C:/xampp/tomcat/webapps/junit-dep-4.5.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.

I also receive the following HTTP Status 500 exception report:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient
	com.xxx.sdk.webservices.Directory.doGet(Directory.java:20)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)

Line 20 is the following:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

My environment is XAMPP on Windows XP Pro SP3, so Apache + Tomcat. Am I doing something incorrectly? Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks,
- Matt
