you can set your classpath in the in the environment variabl CLASSPATH. in linux, you can add like CLASSPATH=.:/full/path/to/the/Jars, for example ..........src/external and just run in side ......src/Report/

Javac Reporter.java

java Reporter

Similarily, you can set it in windows environment variables. for example, in Win7

Right click Start-->Computer then Properties-->Advanced System Setting --> Advanced -->Environment Variables in the user variables, click classPath, and Edit and add the full path of jars at the end. voila
