Adding

	set -e

near the top of the script will enable a feature where the script will exit if 
any command gives a nonzero exit status. This avoids having to do a lot of 
tedious error checking of commands that just "do stuff" (like mkdir, rm, javac) 
but beware, some commands give a non-zero exit status somewhat unexpectedly, 
like grep.
