Ant's <javac> doesn't attempt to look at imports at all. It compiles all sources that are newer than the corresponding class files, that's all. If you need more than that, take a look at the optional <depend> task which will not look at imports either, but compute the dependencies from the compiled classes - if you specify closure="true", it will follow these dependencies to an arbitrary depths. > What does Ant do in the case of circular references? It either won't recognize it or compile all involved classes at once. Stefan
