[Nakata kokuyo]

hi, good day , say if i have an utility class which implements interface, when i create jar file, what i should do with interfaces ? as it doesn't generate .class ..

ii) is jar file only contains .class file ?

thank you for clear my doubt , have a nice day

Compiling interfaces WILL generate class files.

Yes compiling any valid Java code will generate .class files. Interfaces are no exception.

Regarding your query on contents of jar file, it can contain classes, source files (ANSCI files), images etc. :roll:

thank you , sorry for stupid question, i was thinking only class would generate class , but interface not ..

then how the compiler differentiate that the .class file is belong to class or interface ? and why we can't instantiate interface or abstarct class ? thank you for guidance
