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.

It either won't recognize it or compile all involved classes at once.
