Most probably, they are ignored because of the build-in ignore list if
CVS, cf.
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.19/cvs_18.html#SEC178

If you set "-I !" in the command-line of "cvs import", the binary files
should be handled, too.

.jar files are compiled java classes, aren't they? In this case, they
are binary files, and they have to be handled like this. See

  https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.19/cvs_9.html#SEC79
and

HTH,
