There used to be a linker issue with certain versions of JDK on linux, but that seems to be gone now Choice of OpenJDK is Critical - #4 by monkstone, maybe it persists with Windows? Generally I don’t rely on an ide to pull in dependencies, I prefer to set up a maven project, but then I never got on with Eclipse preferring Netbeans, however any half decent ide should be able to cope with a maven project. That @quark got your project to run suggests something odd about your setup.
