eclipse: libraries used in project are not found in the exported jar

I have such an eclipse project :
- the project
- my common libraries -- lib
lib is a directory with 3 jars in it (mysql-db, jfig and log4j) these jars are added to "my common libraries" with 'Java Build Path'->Libraries->Add Jars
in "the project" 'Java Build Path'->Projects->'Required Projects on the build path' I've added "my common libraries", with no access rules
The project works when run from the IDE, but if I try to export a jar :
simone@newbrand:~> java -jar hcc2mag06.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/igfay/jfig/JFigException at it.retireti.hcc.linee.FacadeLinee.<init>(FacadeLinee.java:35) at it.retireti.hcc.gui.HPanelTerminazioni.<init>(HPanelTerminazioni.java:45) at it.retireti.hcc.gui.HControlCenterFrame.init(HControlCenterFrame.java:40) at it.retireti.hcc.gui.HControlCenterFrame.<init>(HControlCenterFrame.java:29) at it.retireti.hcc.gui.HControlCenterGUI.<init>(HControlCenterGUI.java:13) at it.retireti.hcc.gui.HControlCenterGUI.main(HControlCenterGUI.java:34)
SDENG ! quite frustrating ... what I'm missing ? what's the correct way to add libraries / export jars ?

When you export a jar in Eclipse, only the compiled class files are included. In fact, Java doesn't have a standard mechanism to have a jar inside a jar be referenced by a classloader.
So the common thing to do is to manually add the jar dependencies to the classpath when starting the program outside of eclipse.
