What I have found is the source must be included in the jar file. the reason is, the GWT compiler takes the source and compiles it to javascript. Thus, if no source then you can not use the external class.
I found this out by having my own projects in eclipse and then creating a jar file and it still did not work. What I did was created the jar file with source (keeping the source layout) and it works fine at this point.
