Would Ant rebuild when the compiler location is younger than the class it is attempting to build? More generally, if I rely for my build on the location of <umpteen> third party jars and classes, how could I create <umpteen> automatic dependency rebuild actions without having to specify them for every rule where is matters ? -----Original Message----- From: Diane Holt To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2/13/01 12:39 PM Subject: Re: How to specify the location of the compiler ? --- Stefan Lecho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As far as I understand, Ant uses the PATH environment settings > to execute the compiler.

Want to look into adding it? (Keeping in mind that just because I think it could be a good idea doesn't necessarily mean everyone will :) Pass it by ant-dev once you have a patch.
