Compile all java files in a directory and also include those in deeper directories

Question

I'm using javac mypackage/*.java but I want it to also include .java files that are in folders that are in the mypackage folder, and folders within those folders, etc.

How can I do this?

why don't you use IDE to compile? If not you can make bat-file where you recursively traverse directories or hard-code and compile all files in every. — Nikolay Kuznetsov

On a Unix-like OS, find ./mypackage -name '*.java' | xargs javac should sort you.

You may also create an ant or maven script to accomplish the same thing. These scripts will provide you a more manageable way to build and deploy the project. For details on ant see: http://ant.apache.org/ for ant and http://maven.apache.org/guides/ for maven scripts.

Hope this helps.
