Following bug 182360 that relaxes constraints applicable to files that are on classpath entries (contents must be using zip format, name can be arbitrary - while is previously had to end with .jar or .zip), the batch compiler benefits from the same, except that it still forbids files which names end with .class or .java. 

Contrasting this with javac, we can observe that:
- for versions up to 1.5, javac would only accept jar and zip extensions;
- starting with 1.6, javac would accept any extension.

I believe we should align with javac 1.6 and following.
