Compiling java-files with imports from external jared packages

Hi,
I'm new to GCJ but managed to get simple HelloWorld-like programs to 
compile with gcj to binaries. I wonder if i can use gcj for one of my 
projects which is console-based only and therefore may work with gcj.
My project depends on xmlrpc which is an external java package which 
is available as jar-file to me. The code works with Netbeans (using 
jdk 1.5), but I have no luck compiling the source with gcj.
When I do a "gcj -o xmlrpcserver --main=xml_rpc_test.XMLRPCServer 
XMLRPCServer.java" I get a
XMLRPCServer.java:12: error: Class or interface 
`org.apache.xmlrpc.WebServer' not found in import.
 import org.apache.xmlrpc.WebServer;
 ^
XMLRPCServer.java:21: error: Type `WebServer' not found in 
declaration of field `server'.
 WebServer server;
 ^
2 errors
...which is quite logical, since my CLASSPATH is empty. So I do a 
"CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:xmlrpc-2.0.jar" to add the xmlrpc package to 
the search-base. Now I get a
/tmp/ccauJxMh.o: In function `xml_rpc_test::XMLRPCServer::XMLRPCServer 
[in-charge]()':
XMLRPCServer.java:(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to 
`org::apache::xmlrpc::WebServer::class$'
XMLRPCServer.java:(.text+0x45): undefined reference to 
`org::apache::xmlrpc::WebServer::WebServer[in-charge](int)'
/tmp/ccauJxMh.o:(.data+0x4): undefined reference to 
`org::apache::xmlrpc::WebServer::class$'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
...which is confusing me. GCJ seems to have found the files, but I 
don't get where it stucks.
Any hint is welcome!
