Subject: ant and I have a failure to
communicate (on compile targets/javac tasks)
Hi. Sorry for this admittedly annoying type of
question, but I can't figure out the answer, after reading everything else I
could find.
I'm using basically the included build.xml. Here's the
compile target:
<target name="compile"
depends="prepare">
<javac
srcdir="src" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
classpath="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
debug="on" optimize="off" deprecation="off"/>
</target>
Haven't changed it all. All of my directories are set
up as suggested by the docs.
The comment in build.xml says that the "javac" task should
recurse down the dir tree compiling classes that don't exist or are newer
than their .class files. Well, mine doesn't even go down one
level. If I put a file in src that looks like this:
Foo.java:
public
class Foo{ break compiler }
Ant marches on ahead without complaint. There is no
Foo.class in my {deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes directory. It copies
non-.java files from my src/ dir fine. If I do "build clean", my
webapps/nnt (name of my app) is deleted. If I do build all, it is
deleted and then all of the classes are copied back to the same place and
work fine and all, but only if I go through the src/ try and manually
compile them first.
Does anyone have any idea what I am missing here?
jeb.
