Hi Bill,
Are you using a "real" shell, or the one that comes with Windows
(i.e., CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM)? The real problem is that Windows
shells don't expand '*'s, like UNIX shells do; they leave it up to the
application program to do. Unfortunately, the last time I checked,
Sun's Win32 javac would expand no more than one '*' on a line, and it
wouldn't expand '*'s into directories. So if you typed in the line
below to a normal Windows shell, you'd get an error. Furthermore, this
wouldn't work either
javac -d . jess/examples/*/*.java
On the other hand, if you're using a port of a UNIX shell (cygwin's
bash, for example) on Windows then the shell expands the wildcards,
and javac just sees a long list of file names; then both of these
command lines work. Anyway, the safest recommendation is just to tell
people to type the simplest commands known to work everywhere.
