Maybe you can help me with another way of addressing the need I have...
I have a build script used by the whole team and different people want
to have
it behave slightly differently.
The two options are:
1> It builds in place (classes live with java files etc...)
Or
2> It builds to a separate output directory...
I have a clean_all target that tries to decide which you are doing and:
1> selectively delete target files
2> blindly delete the whole directory...
But, as people are getting up to speed with the process I am afraid that
the
source tree may be a subdirectory of the output directory in some cases
(as a mistake
really).
So, I decided I would scan the complete output tree for build.xml (or
something
else that is not 'supposed' to be in the output dir) and if I find it I
can assume
method 2 is a bad idea.
At the moment I can deal with if the src and output are the same, but
not if source is a
subdirectory of output.
Basically I think it is quite likely that someone will set output to be
the parent
of the source not exactly the same as it...
I may just end up sending out a warning about this to the team.
Thanks,
Alan.

Well, as it stood, no matter how much you played with it, I don't think
it
was going to work the way you needed, or the way it seemed the doc was
saying it should. I've put through a change that fixes it (hopefully
anyway -- I tested the snot out of it, but I'm still queasy about my
Java
know-how :)
