Question

How to compile all files in directory to *.class files?

Answer 1

Yet another way using "find" on UNIX is described here:

The following two commands will compile all .java files contained within the directory ./src and its subdirectories:

find ./src -name *.java > sources_list.txt
javac -classpath "${CLASSPATH}" @sources_list.txt

First, find generates sources_list.txt, a file that contains the paths to the Java source files. Next, javac compiles all these sources using the syntax @sources_list.txt.
