Javac: compiling java file only if necessary

hello,

i have the problem that i want to compile a java file only if there are any changes...i don't want to use any other "tools" than the compiler (javac) but no third party apps...is there a solution for my problem...perhaps with a little shell script? or is there an easier solution? thx for replies

You can write a shell script for this, assuming you're using a decent shell and you have reasonable standard unix utils on your system. Do a "man test".But you should just use make or Ant or the like.
