The jar file needs to be in the CLASSPATH of the class loader.
How you do that depens on the way you compile.
If you compile from a shell, ensure firebirdsql-full.jar is in CLASSPATH.
For example in bash shell on linux type:
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<path/to/firebirdsql-full.jar>

If you use an IDE you have to add firebirdsql-full.jar to the project.
For example in NetBeans you can mount a jar file as a file system.
Right-click on File Systems > Mount > Archive Files
Thereafter you can compile your java file.
