Compiling with .jars results in missing .class files

When writing my projects, I use a number of apis and libraries. The projects compile - I have added the .jars to my classpath - however, the relevant .class files are not added to the final jar. Is there a way to force this? I'm not using an IDE like Eclipse (and would honestly prefer not to).

No, the classes aren't meant to be added to your jar file. Instead, the idea is that you supply the 3rd party jar files alongside your own jar file. If you really need to only have one jar file, you'd need to merge all the jar files together - but I'd strongly recommend that you don't do this unless it's absolutely vital. (You'll need to work out how to merge the manifests etc).
