You need to have the jar(s) which contains all the things your class depends on to compile it.

You can then compile the Class with

javac -classpath jar1:jar2 mypackage.MyNewClass

If you have no access to the original Jars, you will have to create mock classes and method etc (which don't have to do anything, just be there so your class compiles) Using an IDE can make both processes easier. (That is what it is for ;)
