Java JNA Native Library Call NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I want to put a file into the recycle bin in Windows using Java. So that the user is able to restore it.

Therefore I use the library JNA from Github (jna-platform-4.2.2.jar) which accesses native Windows functions.

My Code:

public static boolean moveToTrashBin(File file){

    FileUtils fileUtils = FileUtils.getInstance();

    if(fileUtils.hasTrash()){   // returns true
        try{
            fileUtils.moveToTrash(new File[]{file});   // throws Exception
            return true;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    return false;
}

There are no compile time errors but when I try to run it, the line fileUtils.moveToTrash(..) throws the following NoClassDefFoundError and a ClassNotFoundExeption:

I use IntelliJ as IDE and added the library under "Project Structure -> Libraries -> Add".

How can I fix this?
