I thought of a command "Compile all..." command (similar to "Compile and run..") that simply compiles all these source files but does not run anything. Of course I guess one could also run javac from the command line.

My Eclipse project is already rooted at the ImageJ's plugins folder, each inner folder in 'plugins' is a source folder which is its own output folder - thereby .java and compiled .class files come to lie together, just as I want. However, since ImageJ plugins are not supposed to reside in packages - Eclipse cannot export these source folders to a JAR file other than as a flat container (removing all sub-folders). So I thought I let Eclipse only generate the source tree and then run the compiler over it with that intended ImageJ command. Weird idea?
