You probably didn't get those files with you in that package. How did you create the .jar file?

1. I rightclick on my pom.xml file, then choose "Run as -> Mavenbuild..."

2. I write "package" (as "Goals:" value, but the cursor just goes there for me automatically).

3. Click run.

4. It should now compile a complete .jar file in the "target" direcetory of your app.

Sometimes this will fail the first time i try to build my package (for some reason unknown to me) and then succeed the second time so before you give up, try it 2-3 times.
