Convert JAVA to CLASS

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert JAVA to CLASS?
Yes - JAVA converts to CLASS.

Compile the source to bytecode with the JDK: 'javac App.java' produces App.class (one .class per top-level type). The .class is what the JVM actually runs. Requires a JDK installed, not just a JRE.

Also to CLASS: JAR
