A simple bash script that creates and compiles and runs a java project from the cli, if you don't want to use maven or Gradle or an IDE.

• Usage:

You can use the script as is or make it system-wide by doing the following:

• Place it in /usr/local/bin/ (recommended) or ~/.local/bin/

• Make it executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/java-project

• Ensure the directory is in your PATH:

  If using ~/.local/bin/, add this to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

• Then run:

source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc
