lwjgl UnsatisfiedLink error

I know this may seem like a duplicate but throughout the examples I have seem I must be doing something wrong still.

I am using Netbeans 8.0.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1865)
    at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:870)
    at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1119)
    at org.lwjgl.Sys$1.run(Sys.java:73)
    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at org.lwjgl.Sys.doLoadLibrary(Sys.java:66)
    at org.lwjgl.Sys.loadLibrary(Sys.java:95)

    at org.newdawn.slick.AppGameContainer.<clinit>(AppGameContainer.java:36)
    at Engine.main(Engine.java:33)

Is my error which i know from research is just the path isn't set. I went into Properties > Libraries and i have a Library LWJGL which has multiple .jar's in it, including lwjgl.jar. I also have gone to Properties > Run which is where i believe my problem is. I have made a folder in C:\LWJGL\ that contains the lwjgl.jar aswell. My VM Options are -Djava.library.path=C:\LWJGL\.

I know i must be missing something here in regards to where is it looking for the native files or something? After reading through other posts i think my problem is the location of the native files.

java.library.path takes the path to the natives (extensions .dll, .so, .dylib), not the jar file. You have to point it directly to the folder where you have stored these files; it won't work when they are in a subfolder. The LWJGL zip file you downloaded will most likely contain a native folder that contains these files.
