Here is a target that does the entire tree beginning at ${src.dir}. It includes all the files in the directories that begin with the ${pkg.base.dir} directory. The classpath.javadoc property is set in the init target and is shown following the javadoc target. If you fiddle around with this you can

I would discourage you from persuing a patch build solution. I would suggest that a patch build be treated as an entire new build. There are several advantages to this approach. 1. The build and deployment process is always the same. 2. The person doing the build and deploy does not need to know
