IDE does not have correct classpath

Question

I'm using BlueJ for java, and despite having loaded in my external .jar files and the program compiling fine, It does not run with a "Failed to initialize library".

When I compile it into a .jar file itself however (and have the library .jars I need in the same folder) It runs fine.

How do I change the classpath of my BlueJ IDE?

Answer 1

I've switched to NetBeans, it worked right away. It seems BlueJ will not set your classpath explicitly, and the means to do so manually, if they exist, are obfuscated. BlueJ lacked a general run button as well as this capability, which in my mind makes it ill suited to program with.
