Well, I tried javac:
javac -sourcepath A.java -classpath b.jar A.java
It works properly in both JDK 5 and 6.
But Ant's javac task with "includes" and "excludes" does not work with JDK
6.
So I am not sure that problem is in javac compiler. It looks like there is a
problem in javac Ant task.
Could anybody please check it?
Is there any way to look at exact javac invocation string that is produced
for the build script?
