You can't. How are they supposed to cause harm? Anyway, the [classpath
definition|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html#A1100592]

Class paths to the JAR, zip or class files. Each class path should end with a
file name or directory depending on what you are setting the class path to, as
follows:
* For a JAR or zip file that contains class files, the class path ends with the
name of the zip or JAR file.
* For class files in an unnamed package, the class path ends with the directory
that contains the class files.
* For class files in a named package, the class path ends with the directory
that contains the root package, which is the first package in the full package
name.

So we aren't even compliant. What people currently do is package resources as
JAR files because there is no other reasonable way. Moreover, this issue has
been open for more than a year, you could have stepped up earlier.
