If all classes are in your jar, then it should usually work. You might
want to check if you actually have all Firebird classes (and
dependencies). Could you describe the exact layout of the jar file?

Note that it is usually better to keep external libraries in their own
jar files, and reference them using the Class-Path entry in the manifest.

Roman, when using java -jar the environment variable CLASSPATH is
ignored. Only the Class-Path entry in the manifest is used. Putting jars
in the ext folder of the JRE(!) works, but is usually not advisable as
it introduces unclear dependencies (and can cause problems when moving
to a different system, upgrading java, etc).
