The simplest solution is to export your project as a ‘Runnable Jar file’ (Right-click on project->Export…->Runnable Jar file) that will place all dependencies in one jar file.
Otherwise you will need to include a classpath to the additional jars either in the manifest.mf file or on the command line with the -cp option.
