Make executes each command line in its own subshell. You ran the "cd"
command in a shell. Then you ran the "rm" in another shell. And so on.
If you want commands that change the shell environment (such as changing
current directory) to affect later commands, you need to combine them in
the same line, using the ";" separator. For example:
cd jar; rm com/kevinsworld/linux/devices/*.java

There are decompilers around. You might try mocha... it's free. Look for
it in finer Java emporiums.
