title: External libraries for mule deployment
body: <p>I have a mule app that I developed (and checked) on Eclipse's Mule IDE, and one of the components in it is using the external Microsoft JDBC SQL Server Driver class. Everything runs just fine on the Eclipse server but when I try to deploy and run the app from the command line (Mule standalone server/service) - I have a <code>classnotfound</code> exception for that same Microsoft JDBC driver.</p>
  
  <p>How can I include that driver in my deployment program so that I can run without Eclipse?</p>
  
  <p>I thought that by adding the external jar to the Eclipse project, it would load that class into the Mule deployment (app) directory. But I was wrong.</p>
  
  <p>What can be done about this?</p>
