How to extract .jar from .java files (java->class)

Question

I have got my files from my java programmer and have edited some .java files in netbeans and saved again.

How do i pack this into a JAR files that works? I am complete new into this java. All files is .java Think i needs to be .class, but how?

I tried to just put the java files into the JAR file like i do in ZIP and RAR's. But don't think this work properly. Can someone help me?

First of all, all my files is .java, i think it should be .class, but how can i convert them all to .class files?

Then i run:

  jar cf AvatarServer_Q.jar *

But need manifest, think it because of java to class.
