javac compiler issue with external jar using v4l4j

Question

I am attempting to compile a program in java on my Raspberry Pi, but I cannot seam to get the javac (or java) program to link an external library specifically the v4l4j library. I can compile and execute a simple java program, no problem, but now I am trying to link the .jar file in the /lib folder of the v4l4j download.

I am using make to compile and run my code and this is what my Makefile looks like...

all:  
   /home/pi/java/jdk1.7.0_06/bin/javac -classpath /home/pi/java/v4l4j-0.9.0/lib/junit-4.1.jar SimpleViewer.java  
   /home/pi/java/jdk1.7.0_06/bin/java SimpleViewer

which is basically two lines, one that compiles and then one that executes. Note, I did not change my class path, that is why the first part of each line links to the direct location of my java compiler.

When I run make in the command line, I get the error that says

SimpleViewer.java:10: error: package au.edu/jcu/v4l4j does not exist import au.edu/jcu.v4l4j.FrameGrabber;

I actually get a ton of errors like that. Any ideas? Thank you.

Here is the SimpleViewer class

Your class path only have

/home/pi/java/v4l4j-0.9.0/lib/junit-4.1.jar

you have to add other dependency jar files to you class path.
