Batch Files

So, I was just curious. How would I create a batch file that ran a command when I opened it (or double clicked it)?
For instance, I want the command line to execute:
>javac *.java

open notepad, type in the commands and save it but put .bat as the extension when you save it

Or, assuming Windows, give it an extension of
.cmd

For larger projects, you might want to look into makefiles. Makefiles allow you to easily compile only the source files that were altered since the last compilation, instead of recompiling all source files every time. I don't know if they're double-clickable, though

Okay, but what if I want to use the command:
java MakeChange
and the program MakeChange uses the command line?
I tried putting the command in a .cmd file (it works for .bat too), but it keeps running the command over and over again, infinitely...
