Well. What ob-java does is mostly for historical reasons and because
some users of Java source blocks tend to use a lot of local classes
defined in current directory. See
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87imadafo0.fsf@iki.fi/
ob-java does not really aim to generate compiled source in :dir for
the sole purpose of generating the compiled source.

I feel slightly reluctant about adding side effects to babel evaluation.
Not too reluctant though.

I'd like to hear from other ob-C users, so I changed this thread into a poll.
