Yes, it works great for me. I use it like this:
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<depend srcdir="${src.home}"
destdir="${compile.to}"
cache="${depend.cache.home}"
closure="yes"
/>
<javac
srcdir="${src.home}"
destdir="${compile.to}\"
debug="on"
>
<classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>

I do not think <depend> will do that, but it is not clear to me what do you
want it to acomplish. What it does now is delete classes that depend on
classes that are out-of-date and thus will be recompiled. How would that
work in a jar? where would the source code for the classes in the jar be?
