How to compile multiple java file in different package with one script?

[Kousik Majumder]

Hi all,

Can somebody tell me how to compile multiple java file in different package with one script without using ant script.

i.e

packege1 :- A1.java,B1.java
packege2 :- A2.java,B2.java
packege3 :- A3.java,B3.java

I want to compile all the files in one shot without using ant script.

Thanks in advance,

Kousik

You probably don't need a script. If all your classes start off in the same folder, try

javac -d . A1.java A2.java A3.java B1.java B2.java B3.java

I have only got it to work once without packages, but it should work. The -d option mean to create directories (if required) and the . means start in the current directory (for source).

You can do the same with "*.java" instead of appending all the .java files individually.

It does not work for the classes inside packages! It just works fine for the classes without packages ie., classes belonging to default packages.

I tried with the "-sourcepath" option in "javac" command with various values but no luck!

We need to find a work around for the same.
