You don't want to store generated artifacts (such as class files) in
your respository -- there are too many ways for that to go wrong.

Instead I would recommend (1) automating your builds using Ant
(http://ant.apache.org/) and then (2) using a Continuous Integration
server, such as CruiseControl (http://cruisecontrol.sf.net/).
CruiseControl will monitor your repository for changes. When CC detects
changes in your repository, it will start a build (using Ant). If the
build completes successfully, it can then deploy the application to a
test server.

I've been using CruiseControl and Ant like this for the last 18 months,
and it works great. Because CruiseControl uses the same Ant script to
build as the developers, a developer can run all the same tests (JUnit,
CheckStyle, etc.) that the build server would before they check in any
code, which really cuts down on integration problems.
