If you're going to compile outside of an IDE, I'd recommend you write an ANT script rather than a .bat or .sh file.

Most sample projects that you download will come with an Ant script (generally named build.xml). Though I have seen more lately that use Maven...I have to admit that I do not understand Maven that much.
