HI,
Can you send me an example of a javac statement hich has depend clause in
it ?
Also will it work with the Java 1.3 platform for now ?
I have a structure
where I use one upper level build.xml file
which refers to other build.xml files at the lowest level ( where java files
are kept )
THese low level files contain teh javac tasks.
Now I do not know how I am gonna resolve the referrences between 2 parallel
layers to
directory hierarchy (Other than javac itself resolving it ?) Can you
elaborate ?
eg: if com/pincircuit/entity/abc.java instantiates
com/pincircuit/publish/def.java
how do I specify these dependencies in the compilation
target/task/attributes?
Regards,
Viraj Purang

No.
The depend task will remove class files which are out of date with respect
to some source file upon which they depend. So if A.java is out of date and
another class depends on A, that other class' classfile will be removed.
Javac's and Jikes' depend options, where they are actually present, work the
other way around - when compiling A.java, they will compile any other out of
date files upon which A.java depends. Classes which depend on A will not be
recompiled.
