Thanks again Stefan,
unfortunately more answers generate more questions (a phylosofical quote of
my senior collegue sitting next to me, breathing in my neck).
Is there a way to work with Unix standards (like ~ to replace the home
directory)in ant files ?
I also tried to install P4 support, but if I run the task <p4sync> after
having added the website's taskdef we still get an error saying
[p4sync] Unknown command. Try 'p4 help' for info.
Erik

Apart from the FAQ entry (it is there 8-) ?
Ant expects a specific layout of source files to work properly:
(1) Your directory hierarchy mirrors your package hierarchy.
(2) You point Ant to the top of that hierarchy.
So, if you have <javac srcdir="src" destdir="dest"/> and Ant finds a
file src/a/b/C.java, it expects it to be in the package a.b - thus it
looks for dest/a/b/C.class to see whether it has to recompile it.
The "Ant always recompiles" question usually means, your source tree
is not organized the same way Ant expects it to be.
