mac, java 1.5: javax.mail not recognized as a jar file

Question

hello fellow java developers,

Having a little issue with creating a java application on a macintosh computer (snow leopard).

I've set up my application in eclipse, added all of the appropriate jar files, but for some reason the code is not recognizing some of my variables as valid types.

I've imported the libraries via

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

These libraries are not recognized by the application. BUT I've put them on the build path! Any advice on how to fix this?
