Java JSON Jar NoClassDefFound Caused by ClassNotFoundException

I have a simple java file packaged as a Jar on a server called by a PHP script. I have the "json-simple-1.1.1" library included in my java program. However, when I run it gives me the below error. I've added the json-simple jar to my project and import the correct classes. From what I've read it doesn't seem to be adding the json-simple library to my manifest file. Any ideas on how to fix this. I'm using eclipse if that helps.

Your library is probably not been loaded by classloader, so, if it is not in WEB-INF/lib, right click it and Add to build Path.
