Reading the manual: "Configuring and adding libraries to your
project." Note the statement to the effect that JBuilder
does *not* use the classpath. Think about it for a moment
or two and you'll realize that it couldn't possibly do that
and be able to run *your* apps?! How many things would have
to be on JBuilder's classpath to cover *all* possibilities for Java
development? As an IDE, one of its responsibilities is to set
up the environment for running and debug your apps: an important
part of that is *constructing* a classpath given the declarations
you make in the Required Libraries and Runtime Configurations.

Read all about it.
