Re: Java Auto-Compile

Good, but it could be improved some.

$last is never really used.
You might want to continue compiling files (but not run the program) if one of the files is missing or doesn't compile.
You shouldn't try to execute the program if there's been a compilation error.
You could avoid compiling files that haven't changed since the last time you've compiled them.

I forgot that was there. It was part an earlier version The way that java works, if you change one thing, you have to recompile it all that's what I asked	[reply]

The way that java works, if you change one thing, you have to recompile it all That's not true. Like other languages, you just have to recompile what depends on the class you changed. That said, that requires a list of dependencies, and finding that list is beyond what this tool should do. that's what I asked I didn't notice there was a question, since I didn't look for one, since this isn't SoPW. `javac` surely returns a non-zero exit code on error, and zero on success.

If I change something in the hierarchy, the everything lower changes. Also I tried running `javac` in `` quotes, but it never returns anything.	[reply] [d/l]
