Nope coz the jar is the unit of distribution not the unit of
implementation. If somebody makes a change to a single class
high is part of a category they have to issue a new Jar
containing all of the classes in the original. We then have
multiple Jars some with A B C and some with A B and C+.
It becomes hard to know what has changed, what the impact is etc.
If A B and C are in a single source file we can be sure that
the .obj(or library) is consistent in its internal class versions.
