Sounds good so far, except for the lib folder...

That is quite normal. Your application can read the jars from the lib
folder, i. e. *not* from the newly built jar file. You cannot nest jars
in jars. You have two alternatives:

- unpack all jars and repack them into a single one without an included
"lib" folder
- copy your lib folder *and* your own jar to the 2nd machine. You could
zip them together and make them self extracting.
