I came up with a pattern that uses one target to do the compile and
then other targets use antcall to invoke it, like this:
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<!-- Generic compilation target - uses javac.patternset to control -->
<!-- what gets compiled -->
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<target name="generic-compile">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${build.lib}"
debug="${debug}"
deprecation="${deprecation}"
optimize="${optimize}"
failonerror="yes"
depend="yes"
includeAntRuntime="no" >
<bootclasspath refid="rt.path" />
<classpath refid="base.path" />
<patternset refid="${javac.patternset}" />
</javac>
</target>
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<!-- Compile everything at once -->
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<target name="compile"
depends="prepare-build"
description="Compile ALL classes at once" >
<antcall target="generic-compile">
<param name="javac.patternset" value="le.paths.all"/>
</antcall>
</target>
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<!-- Compile the utility classes -->
<!-- ==================================================================== -->
<target name="compile-util"
depends="prepare-build"
description="Compile the utility classes" >
<antcall target="generic-compile">
<param name="javac.patternset" value="le.paths.util"/>
</antcall>
</target>
