Build your jar with the following:

    $ jythonc -j fac.jar -a fac.py

Then run it with the following:

    $ java -jar fac.jar
    3
    HelloGoodbye
    fac(3):
    6
    fac(100):
    933262154439441526816992388562667004 [...]

Some more hints and suggestions:

1. If you want to generate a java class usable from java, then your module
must obey a few rules: (1) It must be contain one class whose name is the
same as the module name.  (2) That class must inherit from some Java class.

2. If you have not already found it, see this page for more information:

       http://www.jython.org/docs/jythonc.html

3. jythonc is deprecated, I believe.  It is unclear what will happen to it
in the next version of jython.  So, maybe you do not want to get too
dependent on it.

Hope this helps.
