full compile...

is there anything in emacs.. that will let me compile a whole directory
like     javac *.java        in dos?

I think most of us use "make" with a makefile, and you will probably
want to do the same for a project of any decent size.

"make" is integrated with emacs, in that M-x compile runs make as the
default, and M-x next-error allows you to step through the errors
and jump to the source line with the error.

This works for C, C++, java, etc., and next-error works for grep and
occur.

You could modify emacs so that M-x compile runs javac, but learning
make is better in the long run.

If you're working with a Java project, I highly recommend the
Java Development Environment for Emacs: http://jdee.sunsite.dk/

Assuming you have javac installed, type "M-x compile RET" and then
type "javac *.java" at the prompt.

In other words, the command you type at "M-x compile"'s prompt is a
normal shell command, and uses the same semantics, wildcards, etc.

Yes. Absolutely.  And you should be using a jde + ant + jikes or javamake to 
automatically resolve class dependencies for fast solid incremental builds, 
not javac.
