$ jar tf $NETBEANS_HOME/platform7/modules/org-jdesktop-layout.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
org/
org/netbeans/
org/netbeans/libs/
org/netbeans/libs/layoutext/
org/netbeans/libs/layoutext/Bundle.properties

No sign that org.jdesktop.layout is in there.  Maybe if you read the 
MANIFEST.MF you'll discover that the layout manager is actually in
$NETBEANS_HOME/platform7/modules/ext/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar.

It doesn't do much good to copy a JAR without the JARs on which it depends.

Lew, thanks for the reply.
It still does not work:
en@gepem:~/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication2/src$ javac -classpath /
usr/local/netbeans-6.0/platform7/modules/ext/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar j*/
*.java
----------
1. ERROR in javaapplication2/NewJFrame.java (at line 8)
        import org.jdesktop.layout.*;
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^
The import org.jdesktop cannot be resolved

swing-layout-1.0.3.jar shows org.jdesktop.layout using Ark.

Thanks!

I'd like to getthis work with java 1.5.I do not want to install anything new, since the given java programworks well with netbeans.The goal is, to get it work from command line.Thanks!

It was a workaround, and may have suppressed your symptoms, but it was no more a cure than aspirin is a cure for the flu even when it gets rid of the headache.Putting custom JARs in the JVM itself is bad.  Putting them in the extensions directories is dangerous, and often bad unless the practitioner fully understands the consequences.  Neither is really ever necessary - extensions directories exist so that you can, in effect, expand the Java language itself.   Normal library references are better managed by using the classpath.In any event, you put the wrong JAR in there, so extensions, JVM lib/ or classpath doesn't matter.Please study the matter and learn why it's bad to put things in the JVM lib/ or extensions directories without full understanding.-- Lew
