Ant does that, yes (but there is no such thing as Ant 1.3.1, I guess this is a typo). > I was wondering if there was work-around or whatever that would > allow me to have the files compiled 1 at a time. You don't really want to do that 8-) What you describe is a "feature" of JDK 1.3's compiler. The compiler of JDK 1.2 or jikes or most other compilers will happily compile all classes they can compile, even if there are compilation errors in some of them. So one option was to use a different compiler. "jikes" is recommended by many people, "classic" is another option if you are not using JDK 1.4. The other option is to write a compiler adapter of your own, that doesn't pass the files to the compiler all at once, but splits it into single compiler invocations. This shouldn't be too difficult to do either, but will degrade performance significantly.
