http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22427 javac task to compile files independently Summary: javac task to compile files independently Product: Ant Version: 1.5.3 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problem description: I have a lot of .java files in src/ directory and they form a logical groups which I would like to compile separately. Of course I could move the files into group1/src, group2/src, but that would mean that I loose CVS history of each file (we have horrible relation with our CVS server maintainer). That is why I decided to convince javac to compile the files separatelly even the sources share the same root. Surprisingly it is possible - one just does not specify -sourcepath, only names all the files to compile with full name and javac does not try to search for files not explicitly enumerated as arguments. I have tried to do the same with Ant <javac> task, but it seems there is no way to *not* specify the sourcepath and just enumerate the files (I understand, there would be no way to check whether the files are already compiled or not). Let say that I would like to do something like this: <!-- compile group1 --> <javac destdir="group1/dest" > <include name="src/org/group1/**/*.java" /> </javac> <!-- compile group2 --> <javac destdir="group2/dest" > <include name="src/org/group2/**/*.java" /> </javac> and be sure that if by a chance file in group2 references file in group1 that the second compilation fails. Request: ======== I would like the <javac> task to allow compilation without specifying the sourcepath. Then the above described behaviour of javac could be used and my separation could work. Workaround: Actually there is a workaround of this problem. But it relies on the "srcdirnote": http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html#srcdirnote and I am affraid it could be broken with future version of ant. The trick is based on specification of wrong sourcepath (src/org instead of src) and then moving the compiled classes at right location. See it at: http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/openide/build.xml.diff?r1=1.148.4.16&r2=1.148.4.17 I would be glad if we could remove this hack in some version of ant with improved <javac>.
