Re: [xdoclet-user] Conditional generation

[Joris Wijlens]

Konstatin,

My answer was maybe a little bit off topic.

But I was referring to the situation where:

In my project I sometimes generate files that are meant to be updated (jsp files for examples). So it is not generated in my gensrc folder but in my normal src or web folder. So the only thing I have to know is that the destination file is already there (this can be done in the start method!?). If it is there I don't generate anything. I know I should strive to not update generated files but sometimes it is worth the effort to generate things only ones.
