The exit status of some of the critical commands (such as the compilations)

one will still see the javac errors in the log).
Adding
set -e
near the top of the script will enable a feature where the script will exit if
any command gives a nonzero exit status. This avoids having to do a lot of
tedious error checking of commands that just "do stuff" (like mkdir, rm, javac)
but beware, some commands give a non-zero exit status somewhat unexpectedly,
like grep.
