And this would be worse than always compiling everything? If you remove the target directory upfront (i.e. clean out all old classes) does it improve the situation? > How do I propose to do this? I have added an attribute to the > MatchingTask task called "includelevel". I don't think includelevel is a good name for this - and I don't think MatchingTask is the right place either. If anywhere it belongs to <javac> directly - unless we find it would be useful for other tasks as well - in which case we need to search for a better place. What you want is similar to the overwrite attribute in <copy> which does not inherit from MatchingTask for example. Stefan
