Well i can easily compile the code in eclipse and i added 2 Signpost librabrys and also common-codec.jar as external library as i read in another post.. however, how do i make it available on runtime?(i did like in the post "add it to WEB-INF/lib " -> i created that folder and added the jar -i also tryed the defaultoauthconsumer -> same error

Answer 1

Right click on the jar and choose "add to build path"? I don't think the ide will automatically add it to your classpath unless you tell it to.
