Tyler,
1. Yes, it does. javac automatically determines your dependencies and,
if it can find them, compiles them as well. There are some issues with
classpaths if it can't find what it needs, but that's a different
issue.
2. For Jar files, I personally use Sodbeans/NetBeans, as it does it
automatically when you use the build menu. You can do it on your own
using the jar utility from the command line. However, if you don't
plan on distributing your tool, it's really not necessary. A jar file
is just a zip file of your .class files with a special file called a
Manifest, which tracks what your main class/dependencies and other
stuff are. So, it makes the program clickable, but if you don't care
about that, then it isn't necessary.
Hope that helps,
Stefik
