Help with compiling applet

Question

I'm new to java and have a pronlem.
I've downloaded an open-source piece of code in a jar file - filedrop - which exists in the namespace net.iharder.dnd* and my own code exists in the namespace sm.aaron.fileupload*, and requires the code from filedrop. I'd like to be able to compile an applet with the dependencies intact - however, I keep getting classdefnotfound exceptions on compile. I've included the jar file for filedrop in my classpath - what am I doing wrong? If I break the jar file out into classes and try to compile, it generates classdefnotfound for each class in filedrop as well. Basically I'm trying to build an applet that uploads files from a drag and drop operation.

I'm trying to use javac --classpath ./filedrop.jar ./pathtosrc/ to create the applet... the weird thing is, this works in netbeans, but I have no idea how to make it work outside of netbeans.  And netbeans doesn't have a decent way to set up an applet embedded in an html page, and even if it did I can't move the files from netbeans or they cease to function.  Gr.
