retitle 873211 Please warn about binary packages shipping .class files
thanks

Hi Carnë,

> The problem I'm reporting is c), the files are not recompiled.

Okay, so this can also be the case with .jar too (!) but let's leave
that for another day/bug. :)

> Also, sicne you mention that b) is common, the java policy [2] states
> that class files should be packaged inside a jar file

Ah, if it's against Java policy to not ship .class files in binary
packages then that is certainly a "quick win". On it…


Best wishes,
