Yes I have, but that doesn't appear to have an effect.
I think the problems is related to our choice of JDK. Version 1.3 has some
improvements over 1.2.2, but there is one caveats which relates to our
problem (Jay Glanville's link):
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/tools-changes.html
"When the new 1.3 compiler detects an error in a source file during a
compilation, it continues to parse the remaining source files and attempts
to identify any further errors that they may contain. Code generation is
completely suppressed for the remainder of the compilation, however, and no
class files will be generated, even for compilation units that contain no
errors. The old compiler in 1.2 would generate class files for any
compilation units that did not contain errors. This resulted in less
redundant work during the repeated compilations required to identify and
correct all errors in a large program containing many files with errors. We
hope to improve this behaviour in the future. The new compiler is
substantially faster overall, however, which should tend to offset this
somewhat. "
What I think we need is a work around to this problem which doesn't require
that we declare each source file. Any ideas?

Simon,
Have you tried setting the "failonerror" attribute to "no"?
