Do you have the commons-math jar in your classpath at runtime ?

I am using Netbeans and I have added the commons-math jar as a library. Is that the same thing?
The following simple test case works fine, but the complete application produce the error.

package test;

import org.apache.commons.math.MathException;
import org.apache.commons.math.distribution.NormalDistributionImpl;


/**

public class Main {

    


    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        NormalDistributionImpl normal = new NormalDistributionImpl(0.0,1.0);
        try{
            double invNorm = normal.inverseCumulativeProbability(0.4);
            System.out.println(invNorm);
        }catch(MathException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }


    }
