We have some source files which have cross dependencies. For instance at
some top level there are the following two directories:
d:/mydir/subdir/java/com/av/dataobjects/*.java
d:/mydir/subdir/java/com/av/testrunner/utils/DB*.java
Some class or classes under dataobjects rely on some DB class under
testrunner/utils. So, we added to our classpath the actual path down to the
java dir, as in d:/mydir/subdir/java. If we remove all previously built
classes and rebuild using javac (not with Ant), it works. In other words, if
we are building something under dataobjects, even if it imports
DBsomething.java which has not been built yet, it will build the dependency
because of the classpath.
But if we run Ant from an ant.bat file specifying -classpath after adding
our d:/mdir/subdir/java to the classpath, we get a build error because an
import not found (one of the DB classes). The DB class is not getting built
as it would outside of Ant.
We also tried setting a property with our classpath and adding that to the
target which does the compile. That gave us the same error.
What *does* work with Ant is to do this, by using the the includes rather
than relying on the classpath pointing to the java directory.
<target name="dataobjects">
<!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"
includes="**/dataobjects/*.java **/testrunner/utils/DB*.java"/>
</target>
We can live with this, but I am curious why using -classpath pointing to the
java directory doesn't work.

People would need to see your script
Especially where your path/classpath was being sent
and more information too.
