Unsatisfied link error with Java API

Question

Although I've gotten the command-line dbxml working ok, I can't get a Java program to work (even copying others' examples). Using NetBeans, I get this error message:
UnsatisfiedLinkError: no libdb_java43 in java.library.path
I am confused by the FAQ entry at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/xml_faq.html#24 as well as the instructions at dbxml/docs/ref/build_win/intro.html within the download that says that Java support is not built automatically. Is it just a means of adding something to some path, or do you have to build it even if you use the Windows .msi installer?
First of all, I thought that the Windows installer would take care of it, no? Anyways, I am confused by the combination of Classpath options both within Windows System variables and as a means to attach to Netbeans projects...
I'd rather not be dealing with the command line at all Help!!! Remember, I'm new to Java, NetBeans, and even Windows (being a Mac user till recently)...
thanks,
Brett

Hi,
Thanks very much for the response, but I still have the problem after reading your other response...
Actually, in addition to the command line tool for BDBXML, I am able to successfully run the Java examples such as java dbxml.gettingStarted.simpleQuery -h dbEnv (the dbAccess example you gave in the other thread just gave me an "input" command-line which I didn't know how to get out of besides closing the window)--though I still don't understand how I am accessing "dbxml" while I am in the subdirectory (I know the "." must be accessing a method of this class somehow (apparently via the Classpath or Path setting?), but I'm confused about how the syntax works exactly such as to make my own; will my file hierarchy give me a clue somehow and if not how?--I didn't detect any exact pattern).
Anyways, as I said, I am able to run the Java examples, but when I write my own program in Netbeans (using an example from a book), using these import statements:
import com.sleepycat.dbxml.*;
import com.sleepycat.db.*;
import java.io.*;
...I still get the error. I suppose this means that the problem is with my Netbeans configuration? Any ideas how to fix that? I've tried setting what seem to me to be the relevant sections within Netbeans (adding the same files and folders in the System PATH and CLASSPATH--i.e., the jar files under /jar and /bin and /bin/debug (from the main BDB folder)--under Project Properties->Libraries->Compile/Run/Compile Tests/Run Tests), and it doesn't change anything.
Just in case, here's my Path/Classpath information (that I get from accessing System Properties of "My Computer", then clicking Environment variables in the Advanced tab):
