Every single command line of the rule will be executed in its own shell
process, thus you end up in the original current dir in the second
statement.

You can put the commands on a single line, seperated by a semicolon:

	cd $(CLASSES); jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/

Or you can use line continuation:

	cd $(CLASSES);                                    \
	jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/
