I wrote an article showing some more advanced Ant uses, this time combining Ant with the JAXB early access release. It shows the use of Ant in compiling multiple source paths at the same time into the same destination; in this example it involves compiling both the user-written code and the JAXB generated code.
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/03/06/jaxant1.html An upcoming followup will show some examples of writing Ant tasks, one which will go through your source path and come up with the packages that one needs to javadoc up so that the user doesn't need to keep that package listing up to date; the second will show how to establish a one-to-many dependency (ant tasks support one-to-one and many-to-one by default), so that the generated files of JAXB aren't re-generated except when the source XML descriptors are changed. These tasks show a more advanced example of using the Ant Path and Project classes. This followup should be out within the month. feedback welcome...
