Hi!
I've been trying to use the <depend> task in my own ant build file and
have a few questions, since I got an error message telling me that I have
to specify the task in a <taskdef> tag (I was looking at the Ant FAQ,
the documentation and the mailing list archives, but I could not find any
answers to my questions. Was I overlooking something? If so, I apologize):
When using the <depend> task, what do I have to specify for the <taskdef>
tag? I was looking in optional.jar, which I use in conjunction with Ant
1.2 but I could not find the class name I have to use for the class
attribute of the <taskdef> tag.
When working with dependencies, I seem to be faced with two alternatives:
using the <depend> task or using jikes? Which does a better job?
Is the <depend> task useful/necessary in conjunction with jikes or is
the <depend> task determined for the ordinary javac?
Has anybody already used the <depend> task and/or jikes for determining
dependencies, especially in conjunction with creating JAR files? If so,
could you please mail me an excerpt of your ant build file as
an example? Thanks a lot!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Greetings,
Holger
