    Question File class theoretical question

    I've been learning java for few days, and I've created a simple code using File class, which returns array of files in specified directory. So I have a question: is there any easy way to return array of ALL files in whole directory, here's an example:
    in path c:/ProgramFiles/ there are:
    1) dir1 (which has)
    ..1) dir1.1
    ..2) dir2.2
    ....1)dir2.2.1
    2) dir2
    3) dir3
    and so on.
    So is there any solution how to return all the files/directories (including subfiles and subdirectories)? I would appreciate any hints

    Recursively traverse through the directory...in pseudocode:
    1. for each file:
        if directory:
            list files -> go to 1.
        else:
             add to list
