>From an admittedly brief analysis of the changes, it looks like the new AntAnalyzer class (under taskdefs/optional/depend) is doing a whole bunch of extra searching to find the file dependencies of a given class, which aren't being used by depend.
On my 1200+ file project: 1.4.1 full dependency: 6 seconds. 1.5Beta2 full dependency: 90 seconds. I believe this is because the AntAnalyzer goes through the entire classpath, searching every jar for the class being analyzed, even though the class was found by looking in the dest-dir, and its location is already known. My solution was to regress the section of Depend.java that called AntAnalyzer to just get the class references, which was the behavior in 1.4.1. Is the additional functionality really necessary? Dependency checking is already fairly slow, if it takes up a significant portion of the build time, it becomes useless. If the additional file dependency information is really necessary, perhaps the Analyzer can be re-written to realize that it already has the class information is it going looking for. -Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
