Jar libraries 1

Hi,
I have my jar file created with the main class specified. That works fine but it fails to find associated libraries which I have included in a lib folder in the jar. So my questions is how do I specify on the command line the classpath to look at dirs inside the jar. When I say to look at lib it seems to search for a lib folder in the directory I am running from (as I would expect it to). So how do I tell it from the command line, also is there a way to put this in the Manifest file? Thanks a lot

Thank you very much Tim, thats exactly what I was looking for. Maybe my searching skills need as much work as my jar skills :)
 
Well, my search was an educated guess. I knew that it would most likely require a custom ClassLoader and the link I posted was the first in the hits on a google of 'jar classloader'.
