Thank you very much for that hint! That did the trick.

Just for the record, this is what I did:

--- Test.cpp
#include <gcj/cni.h>
#include <java/lang/System.h>
#include <java/io/PrintStream.h>
#include <java/lang/Throwable.h>

#include "Test.h"

int main() {
  using namespace java::lang;

  try
  {
    JvCreateJavaVM(NULL);
    JvAttachCurrentThread(NULL, NULL);

    JvInitClass(&Test::class$);

    Test t;
    t.test2();
    Test::test();


    JvDetachCurrentThread();
  }
  catch (Throwable *t)
  {
    System::err->println(JvNewStringLatin1(
	"Unhandled Java exception:"));
    t->printStackTrace();
  }
}

	g++ -c Test.cpp

and

	gcj Test.o -ltest -L. -o testprog

then

[nolte@ravine java-test]$ ./testprog
test2() called
test() called
