Question: I'm trying to write a script to package my class files into a jar file. I can use "jar cf a.jar temp" and it takes all files in the temp directory. Unfortunatly it also includes all source java files. Is it possible to just include the *.class files but also recurse all directories?

Answer: Compile with the -d option that lets to specify a directory where your class files must be placed.
