here is my directory structure.
/user/a /user/b /user/b
inside folder a,b,c there is a file person.java (it is the Same file, just a one line modification.
now, on my shell, im on my /user/ directory and i try to do
javac */person.java
the shell returns the following error,
person.java:14: duplicate class: person
Is there anything to resolve this?
I think the problem here might be, that javac tries to compile everything in one go, which naturally results in duplicated class definitions.
A simple way to resolve this would be
find . -name '*.java' -exec javac {} \;
Edit:
Or to be more precise find . -name 'person.java' -maxdepth 2 -exec javac {} \;
I would go for the small shell script:
for f in */person.java; do
javac $file
done
First line find all the files person.java in a sub-directory, second line compile the file.
