Jeb,
I just tested this, and it worked fine for me (although I did change a few
things in the target, to make it match my dirs/classpath):
<target name="compile">
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="${out.dir}"
classpath="${compile.classpath}"
debug="on" optimize="off" deprecation="off"/>
</target>
I created "src/foo" under my basedir, then put your Foo.java in src/foo,
ran 'ant', and it resulted in:
Buildfile: test.xml
Target: compile
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to D:\dianeh\src\main\classes
[javac] D:\dianeh\src\main\src\foo\Foo.java(1): Type expected
[javac] 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
BUILD FAILED
test.xml:200: Compile failed, messages should have been provided.
Total time: 1 second
Are you sure that the "src" dir that's relative to your "basedir" is the
one that contains your java source? If there aren't any .java files in the
srcdir pointed to, <javac> won't complain about not finding any. You might
want to try explicitly <include>'ing Foo.java and see what happens that
way.
