No, you didn't. This is not a general solution, this is an ugly hack,
and does not scale.

Your mistakes

You used a non-standard GUI element without recognizing that it wasn't
part of standard Java.

You don't understand the Java classpath, the Manifest classpath and
the way Java searches for classes.

You might have done a copyright violation. I don't know the license of
that swing-layout-1.0.jar stuff. It might be that the license
prohibits copying its classes it into an own application. But even if
it is OK for swing-layout-1.0.jar you will sooner or later want to use
a library which doesn't allow such things.

And finally, you trashed Andrew when he was trying to
help.
