i am using the apache commons UrlValidator in one of my java files. the file compiles fine but whenever i run it, i get a NoClassDefFoundError for the UrlValidator class
i am using Google App Engine 1.7.5 with Eclipse Juno for JavaEE. i have included the the commons jar file in the build path as well as in the run config of my project under source but i still get the same error.
heres the code of my java file:

i have no idea as to whats causing this. Thanks for any help.
i added these three files: commons-validator-1.4.0.jar, commons-validator-1.4.0-javadoc.jar, and commons-validator-1.4.0-sources.jar. i added them to the project thorugh project properties -> java build path -> libraries -> add external jars. i added them to the run/debug settings under my project: run/debug -> -> source -> add
