Sorry...
I have done this recursively...in the following program
Only problem left is .....when ever the following program found File means go to the else part the control should stop & come out out of the function & return true.....
How can i return this on finding First file.....
Please help
import java.io.*;
public class DirFileFind
public static void main(String args[])
    File ff=new File("C:\\ccm\\OutPutArtifacts");
    int flag = getDir(ff);
    if (flag > 0)
        System.out.println("Zip Created Successfully!! " + flag );
    else
        System.out.println("Oops I Did it again :( " + flag);
    public static int getDir(File dir)
       // boolean aFlag=false;
        if (dir.isDirectory())
            String[] temp=dir.list();
            for(int i=0;i<temp.length;i++)
                //System.out.println(temp);
getDir(new File(dir,temp[i]));
System.out.println("It Is a Directory " + dir.getName());
//System.out.println("It Is a Directory " + dir.getName());
