if you're using C/C++ have a look at 'man ftw' or 'man opendir' && 'man readdir'. if not, if google for 'directory traversal algorithms' you'll prolly find plenty of examples.

try typing this at the console. Back up your java files first!!

Code:
for file in `find . -name "*.java"`; do cat $file|sed '1 d' > $file.tmp; mv $file.tmp $file; done
Hope this works...
