List the Java source files compiled by javac

I have a series of small Java projects (classes in *.java files) that refer to the large code repository via CLASSPATH. The code repository includes a huge number of *.java files (source files) and a few *.jar files. I would like to separate any given project from its directory in order to pack it and distribute it.

Given a Java class that contains the main method as the starting point of a given project, how do you list all the files such as *.java files or *.jar files on the CLASSPATH that are used to compile the given Java class? Can javac produce a log with sufficient details during compilation? Can you use Java API alone and programmatically check the source files used for compilation?

Can javac produce a log with sufficient details during compilation?

javac has the -verbose option which gives you which JARs are on classpath and which Java files were compiled.

javac -verbose <filepath>

Sample output (compiling Dummy.java which uses Dummy2.java and some JDK classes):
