Peter, 

Good point about the word app.  Basically, it is a java application that I
think I'm force feeding into Eclipse.  This might be my problem.  I have
taken the approach to start my "app" by creating an action set that when
clicked opens up a SWT display that is used for logging in.  When 'OK' is
clicked, a SelectionListener handles this and sends a request to a web
server.  The request is run by using a method inside the action set class
that calls another class outside the action set.

The request is performed by the web server, and my code then tries to
process the response.  This is also done outside the action set class.  My
processResponse() method calls a static method on a class.  This is the
class that is not found.  

Not found in the classpath does indeed mean not found in the build path. 
What is the exact difference between the two?  Hope this helps.
