Creating a .jar package file

OK, now I'm really stuck and I can't get things clear in my mind.

I've created an application Prob3PaneApp in directory \fall2004\bcis\ this
application won't compile because it needs to find a class Prob3Customer.

I've created a class Prob3Customer in directory \fall2004\bcis\edu\mpb\Prob3
this compiles clean and creates a .class file.

I've run "jar cvf prob3.jar edu\mpb\prob3" this says it included the class
Prob3Customer in the .jar file.

Now I'm stuck.... where on earth do I have to put the .jar file and what
will the include statement look like to include this class in my
Prob3PaneApp application? The book wan't me to stick it in
c:\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\ext directory, but I'd rather not stick my files in the
Java directories. Can't I just change a PATH statement or something?
Besides, if I were to do this on a lab machine, I'd never get access to the
Java directories and I must run it on a lab machine as final proof.

Thanks
