Are there any consequences while packing files belonging to the same package in different jars?

  Any kinds of dependency issues or even subtle technicalities,
including legal ones?

  Instead of going like this:
~
sh-3.1# find . -name '*.class'
../MathTest00.class
../demo/dummiesmath/sum00.class
../demo/dummiesmath/diff00.class
~
sh-3.1# jar -cvf dmath00.jar ./demo/dummiesmath/*.class
added manifest
adding: demo/dummiesmath/diff00.class(in = 264) (out= 208)(deflated 21%)
adding: demo/dummiesmath/sum00.class(in = 261) (out= 208)(deflated 20%)
~
sh-3.1# java -cp ./dmath00.jar:. MathTest00

  You could separately jar the classes and then go:
~
sh-3.1# jar -cvf sum00.jar ./demo/dummiesmath/sum00.class
added manifest
adding: demo/dummiesmath/sum00.class(in = 261) (out= 208)(deflated 20%)
sh-3.1# jar -cvf diff00.jar ./demo/dummiesmath/diff00.class
added manifest
adding: demo/dummiesmath/diff00.class(in = 264) (out= 208)(deflated 21%)
sh-3.1# java -cp ./sum00.jar:./diff00.jar:. MathTest00

  The demo pieces of code are:
~
// __ ./demo/dummiesmath/sum00.java
package demo.dummiesmath;
public class sum00{
  public int sumints(int i00, int i02){ return(i00 + i02); }
}
~
// __ ./demo/dummiesmath/diff00.java
package demo.dummiesmath;
public class diff00{
  public int diffints(int i00, int i02){ return(i00 - i02); }
}
~
// __ ./MathTest00.java
import demo.dummiesmath.*;
public class MathTest00{
  public static void main(String[] aArgs){
   sum00 s = new sum00();
   diff00 d = new diff00();
   int i00 = 2, i02 = 3;
System.out.println(s.sumints(i00, i02));
System.out.println(d.diffints(i00, i02));
  }
}
