NetRexx.zip can be thought of as a DLL that supports the NetRexx API. When
you write any code that uses an API, that code has to be able to find that
API's DLL. In Java a DLL is known as a Class file.
Many special purpose Java APIs have been writtten (with still more on the
way). Code using these APIs will need to have the relevant class files on
the classpath.
