Generally you should use something like
<javac srcdir="src" destdir"classes">
<include name="com/mycompany/mypackage/**"/>
</javac>
Including part of the package-structure into srcdir results in Ant
recompiling everything every time (one of your problems).
Note however that you can not rely on the include-statement in all cases. If
javac thinks it should recompile other files as well it will do so and Ant
can not do anything against this. If there are no dependencies between your
packages and/or they are compiled in the "right" order it should work for
you.
