How can I tell Ant that there is a dependency between two
.java files? ie Given a.java and b.java, how do I say in Ant,
if a.java is compiled then you must also compile b.java.
Have had various attempts, the problems are getting javac
to compile b.java even though b.class is later than b.java,
and using something like touch, as in Ant every rule fires
and I can't restrict the touch to occur only if a.java is compiled.
Doing this with Make would be easy, but I just don't see
how to do it with Ant... Is this a fundamental problem due
to Ant relying on javac to know whether a file needs to be
compiled?
