Well, something 'smells' in what you describe (in the Martin Fowler way ;-). You say that p2 depends on p1 & p3, but you need to compile it first! That's strange. Your <javac> task if indeed p2 depends on p1 & p3 will probably end up compiling p1 & p3 code between it will 'see' p2 depends on classes in p1 & p3, and find these classes thanks to the sourcepath attribute (src in your case) passed by Ant to SUN's Java compiler. And if your <classpath id="our.classpath" /> contains p1 and p3 classes, then which would you need to compile p2 before? Either I don't understand something, or you have circular dependencies... Then again, you talked about Java source code generation in the mix, so I'm probably missing something. --DD

I believe I have it working now. I just needed to get the includes and excludes properly defined. Part of what was throwing me off was how many darn dependencies this package has in the other code, so when it did compile stuff, it compiled tons of other Java sources (that it depended on). But, just in case there is a better way, here's what I have: root src company (start of source code package hierarchy) p1 p2 p3 I needed to build the stuff in say p2 before p1 and p3. p2 had some dependencies in p1 and p3. I wound up with essentially this: <javac srcdir="src" ...> <include name="company/p2/*.java" /> <classpath refid="our.classpath" /> </javac> Seems to work just fine. But, let me know if something is not right with that, or there are other/better ways, etc... -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 3:19 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: How to compile one package in common root? Could you demonstrate you package hierarchy and what needs to be compiled/translated first, second, third, etc... a bit more practically? By that I mean example package names (mangled if you want, which what sources before to what logical module) and pseudo (ant) code to describe the build steps order. That would help me understand your problem (rather than re-reading your email ;-). --DD -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bailey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to compile one package in common root? I saw the note under the javac task in the Ant docs, and I also searched the mailing list archives, so I apologize if this has been covered (if so, and you can point me to the thread in the archives, thanks in advance!)... I am converting a project that uses make to Ant. The code is not as well organized and separated as we'd like... There is a common source root. Then, we have a package under that that is actually some "compilers"/translators we use to transform XML into Java code. However, these compilers also make use of other source files in the common source, so I can't easily separate them out. But, I need to compile these before the rest of the code, so that I can use them to process some of the XML and turn that into java, and then let all the non-compiler Java source files get compiled. I had planned to create a top level/root build.xml that does the normal build, and a build-compilers.xml that built the compilers (build.xml would call build-compilers before doing it's compile task). But, I can't seem to get the includes/srcdir/src/excludes stuff right for the build-compilers.xml build file. Can someone explain the best way to do this? I am also open to other ways of achieving this... ____ Chris Bailey mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Code Intensity http://www.codeintensity.com Voice: 916-415-0471 FAX: 508-267-5841 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
