How do i compile multiple java files using CMD?

Question

I am having problems making my classes see each other when i try to compile using command line.

There's about seven java files originally written on NetBeans, all on the same folder.

When i type javac Main.java, it tells me that it cannot find one of the classes in the same folder.

You should be able to use

javac *.java

It might be worth noting that globbing will cause that to expand into (assuming your folder has four java files a, b, c and Main),

javac a.java b.java c.java Main.java
