JDK-4996963 - apt could accept class files and java files on the command line
Description
Currently apt's command line is almost identical to javac's command line.  In particular, the list of entities to be processes are *.java files *not* packages or class files.  (Javadoc accepts packages to process.)  It may be more covenient for users to be able to specify package names as entities to be processed.
Comments
EVALUATION Existing policy seems fine; closing as will not fix.
