Hi all--

I have a 3rd-party jar I am trying to install into my maven repository.  
The repository is filled with various jars installed by our company, and our
current project references these with no problem.

I installed this jar with mvn install-file, and it shows up as expected in
the local repository.  I then added the dependency to my pom.xml.

This 3rd-party jar is called "reactor.jar" and has a namespace edu.bsallas. 
When I modify my test script--which references the other repository jars no
problem---to include an "import edu.bsallas.*", then the compilation fails,
claiming no such package exists.  However, right above it is an "import 
junit.framework.*", which references a locally-installed .jar (in our case)
in the repository.

The weird part is that maven, in building the test, seems to correctly
reference the jar, because if I change the name of the jar in the repository
to something bogus, then maven bombs that a dependency was not found.   So
the main issue for me: how can a jar be found while building, and then not
found while running?   

I verified that the reactor.jar looks good: directory structure is correct (
top level is edu, then bsallas, then the class files ).   I also tried
another .jar file for a commercial product ( p6spy ) and am getting the same
problems:  class not found errors.

Thanks if you have any ideas!

Isaac
