Hi, I need a shell script to do this.

in some directory, ls *.java
then, go loop to compile each java file,

the output look like this

----------- in this directory have 5 java files ------------
java1.java
java2.java
.....

----------- compile -----------------------------
*** compile java1.java ****
*** finish it *****

*** compile java2.java *****
*** finish it ******

---------------------

Thanks

I would suggest using ant.

How about:

javac *.java

Also, typically if you compile 1 java file, and it makes use of other java files that aren't compiled yet, it will compile those as well.

deiussum's suggestion is good, but for myself, I am an ant addict.

Ant gives you a much finer, scripted control over exactly what is going on.

just download eclipse... you can script ant builds in it if you really want, but the files compile automatically anyway so you can just set and output dir and your classes will always be there
