title: JavaHL not loading (NoClassDefError)
body: <p>I've reinstalled Windows and unzipped a fresh copy of Eclipse. Despite this, I've been unable access an ssh repository via Subclipse. The issue seems to be with JavaHL and the tests from the Tigris web site give NoClassDefError. Although this could be considered as a software issue I hope someone has come accross this before. Is there a way to fix this? It's quite urgent.</p>
  
  <p>P.S: Things were set up such that Subclipse would look in the config file to forward a call to the PLink client of TortoiseSVN which in turn gets a key that's loaded in Pageant.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Here's the output from java -jar javahltests.jar now after reinstalling a jdk:</p>
