I am creating a custom plugin which has references to 3rd party jars like xmlbeans, asis-axiom jars etc., I created a plugin project and then created a smart service.
I checked some sample plugins in the forum that has 3rd party dependencies ( for example Base64 Conversion Utilities - has dependency on castor). They just place the 3rd party jars under META-INF / lib and has a plain manifest file that contains only Manifest Version attribute.
I followed the same approach and placed my dependent jars in the META-INF/lib folder and there is a Manifest.MF file under META-INF with just version property.
I deployed this plugin jar , but it didnt work. I got NoClassDefFound Exception always.

I tried adding my depdendency jars in "ClassPath" attribute in Manifest.MF and my manifest now looked like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class:
Class-Path: schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans.jar apache-mime4j-core-0.7.2.jar axiom-api-1.2.13.jar axiom-dom-1.2.13.jar axiom-impl-1.2.1...

Please check whether the dependent jar has already available under suite.ear/lib, in case the class package available then it won't consider the jar from META-INF/lib. I have faced this issue in 17.1 for json related jar, have removed the jar from META-INF/lib but the jar available under suite.ear/lib is not the latest so few classes not available like JSONException in my case.

Can you post the folder structure of the plugin project. I feel that the jar files has been misplaced.

Extract jar file into a folder, Open command prompt, go to jar file main folder which contains various folders using command prompt> hit the following command, tree/f

This will represent you the tree structure of the plugin project in windows command prompt screen, so that the practitioner can easily trace the issue from the basic level.
