And what happens? If the certain directories aren't being excluded, perhaps
it's because you haven't turned off dependency checking on your compiler--
this will automatically drag more classes into compilation if it deems them
necessary. Check the docs for the options on javac and see if that works.

Subject: someone help, please
I have been racking my brain for over an hour trying to figure out what I am
doing wrong and just can't get it.
I am trying to build a set of source files but I want to exclude certain
directories (using Ant 1.3 and Java 1.3). Here's a snippet:
<target name="buildEA" depends="buildJUnit">
<mkdir dir="${classes.dir}" />
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}/lib" />
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${classes.dir}"
includes="com/tumbleweed/**"
excludes="com/tumbleweed/ea/feeder/ime/**,
com/tumbleweed/ea/alltests/**, com/tumbleweed/ea/tests/**"
failonerror="true"
>
<classpath refid="all.jars" />
</javac>
<jar jarfile="${build.dir}/lib/ea.jar"
basedir="${classes.dir}" />
</target>
Thanks in advance...
