I'm probably missing something obvious here, but what is it? Also, dir /s works for me; what does javac work on when doing recursion?

I am not aware of such an option with javac, but may I suggest you try a built tool like Ant?
http://ant.apache.org/
Good luck.
I got the impression that javac was recursive (in fact, I think that I've seen those words precisely) outside of .jars, which I don't use - if I get one, I just extract it. I'll use a third-party compiler if it comes to that, but I think that javac ought to work.
For the record, I don't have a CLASSPATH Environment Variable (though if I did, it would just be a case of making sure that . is on it). I think that having one just overwrites the default one, which is ".".
Does javac *\*.java work on other machines? Do I just have the command wrong?
Try dir *\*.java. That won't work either. It's a stupid cmd.exe thing, not a java thing. In any decent *nix shell, filename globbing will work for any command */*whatever.
Something like -s -d or some bloody thing like that allows multilevel filename globbing, but I forget the exact details.

/s. Also, argh. Looks like I'll be doing this the old-fashioned way, then. Kind of a pain when the project in question contains 108 folders. That or switch OSs. Anyway, thanks! For once, a problem that I'm having apparently isn't my fault.Message was edited by: Schizoguy

Or use cygwin, which gives you unix shells and programs in Windows.
Or use ant, as suggested.
