Is there a reason for supplying a manually-maintained file containing a
list of files to compile?
If not, perhaps there is a misunderstanding of one of the powers of
Ant. That file is not required for Ant to compile the files. Ant
automatically works on sets of files in a file set or directory
structure.
A <javac> task can be very simple. For example, this <javac> task:
<javac destdir="${build.dev.class.dir}"
debug="true"
deprecation="true">
<src path="${src.code.src.dir}" />
<src path="${src.code.test.dir}" />
</javac>
compiles all code in the directory (and subdirectories) specified by
each <src>.
Unless I misinterpret your emails, that is the feature you are looking
for, but just don't know it is built in.
May I suggest reviewing the Ant docs more, particularly the <javac>
task and the examples in the "Using Ant" topic.
If I misunderstand, apologies in advance, and I suggest to get
something compiling first and then work on excluding any files from
compiling if necessary.

Diane,
So - All i have to is
Define a property for bean.txt
<property name="JList" value="${cfnDir}\bean.txt" />
I guess it my lack of unserstanding of how javac works - Doesnt it
expect
java file to be in the 'srcdir' rather than a txt file - Or does it
know
that it should read from the txt
Currently i specify javac
srcdir=\cfn\sicav\citco\java\com\citco\cfn\sicav\bean -
Is this what i would do ?
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->
<javac srcdir="${JList}" destdir="${buildCfn}"
</target>
As for the below - How would this work - Again - javac would expect
java
files. Correct ?
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->
<javac srcdir="${srcDir}" destdir="${buildCfn}"
includesfile name="d:\scripts\cfn\bean.txt" />
</target>

Get rid of the <patternset> -- <includesfile> nests under <javac> (or
just
use the simple 'includesfile' attribute).

You can do that, or you can use wildcards, or a combination of both.
The
filenames should start with the next directory down from your
'srcdir'.
For example:
com/atluri/io/Input.java
com/atluri/tools/parser/*.java
com/atluri/utils/**/*.java

No -- it'll compile (when necessary) all the files specified in the
bean.txt file, looking for them relative to ${src} or ${src2} (if not
found in ${src}).
(Just as a side note: You might want to reconsider that hard-coded
full-path for the includes file -- better to define the directory in a
property, along with the other directory properties you're defining.)
