I just downloaded the Java SDK for Valentina and I find
that there is no "classes.zip" in the download.  There
is a "VJDK.jar" file.  If this is what you see, then
your _single_ class path description should be

  c:\newdb\database\VJDK_WIN\VJDK.jar

(Why so deep a nested structure "newdb/Database/...?!  Why
not make it more descriptive: c:/Valetina/....?)

There is _no_ source for the Valentina Java SDK, as far
as I can tell.  Leave that absolutely empty.

Huh?  Which docs are you thinking about here?  This path
should point to the JavaDocs for the Valentina SDK.  Did
you really move them to "c:/customer"?  If so, don't do
that; keep all components of any SDK you download in the
folder hierarchy which the vendor/author placed them.  Don't
move things around on a whim.  If not moved, then enter

  c:\newdb\database\vjdk_win\docs

Although, to get JBuilder 2 to work with the HTML JavaDocs, 
I think you might have to zip up those docs and point the 
doc path to that specific zip archive.

If after setting the paths correctly you still get the 
dependency error, just try using the library.  There
was at least one message in the newgroup archives (search
engine info -- http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/ngsearch.html)
which states that even though you get this message (and I've
seen it before with 3rd party libraries -- long ago), you
can still effectively use the library in your project.

I don't have JBuilder 2 installed, so I can't do any checking
on this.  One thing you can do is to turn off the "make stable
package" flag.  That may ease things a bit.
