Since Depend.java + extends from MatchingTask.java, this comes for free and is useful to check the + dependencies on the same set of files fed to the <javac> task. I tried it in + my build file, and it seems to work as expected. + + The relevant bit from the <javac> documentation: + + ------- + Parameters specified as nested elements + This task forms an implicit FileSet and supports all attributes of <fileset> + (dir becomes srcdir) as well as the nested <include>, <exclude> and + <patternset> elements. + ------- + + And an example of usage: + + <depend srcdir="${build.java}" destdir="${build.classes}" + cache="${build.java}/dependencies" closure="false"> + <patternset> + <include name="**/*.java" /> + <excludesfile name="${build.java}/build_excludes" /> + </patternset> + </depend>
