I'm working with AEM for the first time. I am using Adobe Brackets for editing one of the ZIP files I was given that included jcr_root and META-INF. This ZIP file has no pom.xml. Everything so far is fine with the zip file....I can make changes to JSP and JS etc. and they take effect right away.
However, I would like to change one of the java files. The change to JAVA files doesn't seem to be taking effect. I've restarted CQ instance but that doesn't seem to be working. And there is no POM.xml in the zip file.
There is a .bnd file with these contents. Not sure if this helps..

Question
Can compiled class files be sent to AEM via brackets? If so, how?
I strongly recommend to use Maven to build your AEM Project. It's very well supported and documented and the de-facto standard for AEM deployment. http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/developing/developmenttools/how-to-build-aem-projects-using-apache-maven.html
