In the documentation concerning javac on the JDK1.1.4 distribution
for Tool docs ...

It is said that it is allowed to do like:
 javac packagename
However it does not work and it is not written in the top of the
documentation (just list of *.java files).


Compiling One or More Packages

     To compile a package, the source files (*.java) for that package must be located in
     a directory having the same name as the package. If a package name is made up of
     several identifiers (separated by dots), each identifier represents a different directory.
     Thus, all java.awt classes must reside in a directory named java\awt\.

     First, change to the parent directory of the top-most package. Then run javac,
     supplying one or more package names.

       % cd c:\jdk\src
       % javac java.awt java.awt.event

     Compiles the public classes in packages java.awt and java.awt.event.
