The command del do not delete read-only files, unless you force it with /f. So, one way to delete all files except the . java is to make the . java read-only and then return them.

Read-only:

cd src\main\java
attrib +r *.java

Delete all files (the . java will be because they are read-only):

del /q *.*

Being the /q why cmd don’t ask if you’re sure.
Finally, return the . java files to normal:

attrib -r *.java

Another solution would be to integrate the . java into another temporary folder and then return it to the str main java folder.

Something like:

cd src\main\java
copy *.java TEMP_DIR
del *.* 
copy TEMP_DIR\*.java src\main\java

    Nice play on the attrib!
