Using one of the standard build tools is probably the way
to go. JDE supports "make" and "ant" directly, and M-x compile will
work with anything that you choose. Also the "JMaker" package from
David Ponce (which I think comes with JDE these days) will build make
files for you automatically. In my experience ant is generally quicker
because it launches all compiles from a single JVM, while make will
tend to launch javac for each out of date file, which means multiple
JVM invocations.
