Perhaps its a problem with class registration for the classes in the second DLL? ie is _Jv_RegisterClasses getting called?

Perhaps that's because GCJ expects the DLLs/SOs
containing classes to be loaded dynamically
in files named something like "lib-org-eclipse.so"?
(Maybe "org-eclipse.dll" for Win32?)

That's a mechanism for dynamically loading classes (via Class.forName or custom classloaders). Linking against classes in a regular .so/.dll the normal way ought to work as well, regardless of whether the class is used by fixed or dynamic references.
