Yes, automagically created by javac/jikes/etc. And when you're through
compiling, you just
cd classes
jar c0f ../lib/myjar.jar *
and you have just the classes in jarfile format for distribution.
If you put the source directory tree first in your classpath, i.e.,
CLASSPATH=~/java/source:~/java/classes:/usr/local/jdk/lib/classes.zip
then javac/jikes will automagically prefer newer source files to class
files (it may do this anyway, whatever) and can find the source to
compile when it needs it.
