I'm new to ANT and old to make. I would like to understand how to add
dependency rules to ant to handle the simple case of cross class dependencies.
I've read posts regarding <taskdef name="depend"...> and the depend="true"
in the <javac> task, but either I'm not understanding it or it doesn't
work. (At least I know the former is true)
Here's the example:
Class A has method foo() in A.java
Class B calls A.foo() in B.java
A.foo() is changed to take, say an int: foo(int x)
When rebuilding with ANT, A.java will get recompiled, but not B.java.
I've looked at jikes which will spit out the dependency information that
would solve this problem, if I could just get the information into ANT
so that it passes both A.java and B.java to javac.
Thanks,
