.jar files and Class-Path

I am trying to load a MySQL driver from another .jar file with the
following line:
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");

This causes a ClassNotFoundException, even if I include the file
containing this class (mm_mysql-2_0_3-src.jar) in the program by
inserting the following line into my program's jar file's manifest:
Class-Path: ./mm_mysql-2_0_3-src.jar
or simply
Class-Path: .

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Xcode 1.1, and the jar file I need
to use is located in the same directory as my program's jar file. Do I
need to include the jar file to be used in the project somehow?
