I'm not sure what else to suggest. If things don't turn up as  
expected I usually try:
- click in package explorer and hit F5 to refresh eclipse cache on files
- if that doesn't work, do a clean
- restarting eclipse rarely needed

You could also try creating a fresh project and import that jar and  
do a simple test.
