compiling from a txt file

[gib65]

I use to be able to compile a txt file that had all my source files listed in it like this:

occupant.java
goodguy.java
morphon.java
...

I can't remember what I typed at the console. It was something like javac @ compile.txt (but not that). Does anyone know how this is done? Thanks.

See: javac - Java programming language compiler

There's a section called Command Line Argument Files and should be what you want (from what I read, you're syntax is very close to being correct, simply remove the space between @ and compile.txt)

You should save .txt as .java and then at command prompt

javac filename.java
java filename

You should save .txt as .java and then at command prompt

javac filename.java
java filename

He's looking to create a text-file which has javac compiler settings. This doesn't have to be a .java file (actually, it's a bad idea to name this as a .java file because this doesn't contain any Java source code).

Thanks, this worked.

And sorry for not replying earlier. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything.
