How to solve error message Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/usb4java/Loader

Question

I'm trying to make use of usb4java and am getting a error when I run it. It compiles just fine and I have looked at my class path and it appears the usb4java jars are being included as you can see below.

I'm currently on Windows 7, running Java 8, using usb4java-javax-1.2.0(http://usb4java.org/). And I'm getting the following error. Any ideas on how to get past this?

You need to also include usb4java-1.2.0.jar.
