You can always use a "fake file" to record the rebuild time of your idl
which will then allow
you to compile conditionally. Using uptodate you can then get everything
working. Take a look at the buildfile fragments below:
<target name="checkGenCodeIDL13" depends="init">
<uptodate property="idlj.disabled"
targetfile="${dir.idl.output13}/timecheck.dummy" >
<srcfiles dir= "${dir.idl}" includes="**/*.idl"/>
</uptodate>
</target>
<target name="genCodeIDL13" depends="init, checkGenCodeIDL13"
unless="idlj.disabled">
<mkdir dir="${dir.idl.output13}"/>
<execon executable="${idlj.executable}">
<arg line="-fall " />
<arg line="-td ${dir.idl.output13} " />
<fileset dir="${dir.idl}">
<include name="**/*.idl" />
</fileset>
</execon>
<touch file="${dir.idl.output13}/timecheck.dummy" />
</target>

+ | DESCRIPTION
|
+ Surely I'm not the only one who uses idlj... and it is part of the
standard
+ j2se... can we please have a built in task for it?
+
+ currently I do it like this:
+
+ <target name="idl" description="Generating CORBA
stubs/skeletons...">
+ <exec dir="${src}" executable="${JAVA_HOME}/bin/idlj">
+ <arg value="-fall"/>
+ <arg value="-verbose"/>
+ <arg file="${src}/WilmaChat.idl"/>
+ </exec>
+ </target>
+
+ which is far from adequate as there is no dependency check on my idl
file.
+
+ Maybe there's a really easy way to make this work... but I haven't
figured it
+ out yet.
+
+ Thanks Heaps
+
