Johannes,
you should include all the else statement between curly braces :

 if (endsWith(list[i], "/"))
           listFiles(""+dir+list[i]);
 else {
             m=dir;
             print((count++) + ": " + m + list[i]);
  }


the braces can be omitted if the statement carries only one instruction.
