If you do jar -tf comm.jar you will see SerialPort.class.  Perhaps a 
package name is not matching but there is no need to grab SerialPort.java 
from rxtx 2.1.  In fact that will cause problems like you ran into.

Make sure that comm.jar is indeed in your class.  Also check to make sure 
the packages are matching.  RXTX 2.1 will put SerialPort.java in class 
gnu.io to avoid conflicts with Sun's comm.jar.  This will cause problems 
as SerialPort.class should be provided by Sun in package javax.comm with 
rxtx 2.0.

The same applies for ParallelPort.java
