All this is created fro Jasper. The compiler (javac) needs to have real
class files and real JARs on the HD. These files are *not* used for anything
else.
No classloading or resource loading occurs from there, so it won't conflict
with other stuff in the webapp.

Note: Jasper is temporarily broken when running from a WAR.
