Loading .jar and .class in MX7

Question

I have a cfx tag that includes a .class and .jar file. I
could do this on the old MX server but in MX7 the option is not in
the cfide/administrator.
I copied the .jar and .class files into the
c:\cfusionmx7\runtime\lib\ directory and then added them to the
bottom of the jvm.config file with the following entry. (note: The
.jar file is called MYNEWFILE.jar)
java.class.path={application.home}/servers/lib,{application.home}/../lib/macromedia_driver s.jar,{application.home}/lib/cfmx_mbean.jar,{application.home}/lib,{application.home}/lib/ MYNEWFILE.jar,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib/
I then rebooted the server. I also have a ".class" file that
goes with this. I have no idea where to put that thing. The cfx
(which I mapped in the administrator).
I get the standard 500 error saying:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer
even though I have debugging going to my laptop.
Here is the output of the exception.log
"Error","jrpp-0","07/05/07","16:04:14",,"com/allaire/cfx/CustomTag
The specific sequence of files included or processed is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've been working
on this for a while. I couldn't find a solution in the forums so I
thought I would post. Thanks!

>> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/allaire/cfx/CustomTag
Is the CFX.jar in the classpath?
> The option is not in the cfide/administrator.
What option? The administrator has several options for custom
jars, tags, et.
- Extensions -> Custom Tag Paths
- Extensions -> CFX Tags
CF will also look in these directories automatically
- {cf_webroot}/WEB-INF/classes (for classes)
- {cf_webroot}/WEB-INF/lib (for jars)
