Hi,


    i'm trying to work through the Professional Java 2 Enterprise Edition
with BEA Weblogic 
Server book. The make file basically compiles all the common java files ,
servlets & EJBS and 
copies the class files to particular destination directories. When issueing
the javac command 
in 
the make file, the length of the command is becoming large & its giving an
error saying that 
the 'command line is long' when i run on the DOS command line. Do we have
any ideas on 
how 
to overcome this problem? I have tried breaking the command into smaller
ones, but didnt 
work.

thanks,
Vaas.
