axis.jar and the viewer plugin

Brian1

Hi,
I wrote a plugin for BIRT that uses axis.jar.
I have tried to use the MANIFEST.MF file to point my plugin to the axis.jar file located in:

pluginsorg.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.2.1.r22x_v20070920birtWEB-INFlib

but I haven't been able to get that to work, so I've had to deploy axis.jar inside of my new plugin folder.

When I use the designer to build my report, my new plugin works great. But when I click on the Preview tab to run my report, I get the following:

NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.axis.client.Axisclient

I'm really baffled here, and I'm fairly new to the MANIFEST.MF world. I've tried adding Required-Bundle and Import-Package to my MANIFEST.MF file, but nothing seems to make a difference.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Brian
