Thanks a lot Actually, I noticed that all jar files (at least those that one is supposed to enter as dependencies in project.xml) are already in the /lib when downloading Torque from the project web site. So I copied them all out of that directory into the /lib dir of my project. Then I added the torque-3.2.jar which I also found in the downloaded package. After refreshing my eclipse workspace I assumed everything would work fine - however, even though the torque.jar is correctly part of the library container, any import of the kind org.apache.torque... can't be resolved. That I find rather strange. Any clue?
