Move your ant script to the classes directory. Change your src and dest "."
the current directory.
Since all of your pagackages begin with defects, then your src directory
compile then in the directory above defects. Otherwise your .class files
will be located some place else.
To accomplish this:
classes/defects/controller/ClassA.java
/ClassA.class
classes/defects/model/ClassD.java
/ClassD.class
BOTH src and dest have to be at the classes directory. You should run Ant
from this directory also. Then your src and dest are going to be . for the
current directory.

Subject: Ant/javac/recompiling every time
Hi Kevin,
I was not sure who to really reply to...
I included the previous emails at the bottom of this email.
However, I am still confused.
again my build.xml looks like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
<project default="compile" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<property name="build.compiler" value="modern"/>
<property name="src" value="."/>
<property name="classes" value="."/>
<property name="classpath" value="."/>
</target>
<target name="prepare" depends="init">
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac
srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${classes}/classes"
classpath="${classpath}"
debug="true"
deprecation="true"
includes="**"
/>
</target>
</project>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
I did try to change it like the suggestion below, I changed it to look like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
<project default="compile" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<property name="build.compiler" value="modern"/>
<property name="src" value="."/>
<property name="classes" value="."/>
<property name="classpath" value="."/>
</target>
<target name="prepare" depends="init">
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac
destdir="${classes}/classes"
classpath="${classpath}"
debug="true"
deprecation="true"
includes=="${src}"
/>
</target>
</project>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
I then got an error saying that SRCDIR was not defined and the build failed.
This is how my directory structure is laid out,
I have C:\prism\web-inf\classes\defects (this is where I am sitting
when I am running ant)
in this defects directory, I have util.java which has the following package
definition: package defects;
below the defects directory I have two folders,
controller -- in here the six .java files have the following package
definitions in them : package defects.controller;
and
model -- in here the three .java files have the following package
definitions in them: package defects.model;
and what was happening originally was when I was in
c:\prism\web-inf\classes\defects and I was running ant, all 10 source files
were being recompiled everytime.
Maybe I am not doing this correctly... ? should I be attempting the compile
for each package individually or something?
