You can't. How are they supposed to cause harm? Anyway, the [classpath
definition|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html#A1100592]
says:
{quote}
Class paths to the JAR, zip or class files. Each class path should end with a
file name or directory depending on what you are setting the class path to, as
follows:
* For a JAR or zip file that contains class files, the class path ends with the
name of the zip or JAR file.
* For class files in an unnamed package, the class path ends with the directory
that contains the class files.
* For class files in a named package, the class path ends with the directory
that contains the root package, which is the first package in the full package
name.
