How to make a makefile only for compiling some jav

Question

I have three java files named A.java, B.java, C.java, A will create object B, B will create object C. But I have never built a makefile before. Does anyone can help me build a makefile just to compile these three java files? And what tool should I use to make a makefile? Thank you!

Answer 1

1. Define your suffixes.
2. Define how to turn .java into .class
3. Define what classes you want
4. Define an "all" target.

You don't need any specific editor for making a makefile; even Notepad would do.
