We hava a directory hierarchy that has links in it to RCS spaces and other "useful" directories in the tree that I make ant traverse to build java (and other types of) files. My javac task has a bunch of excludes in it to exclude all the know file types encountered in our directory hierarchy, however, it appears that ant walks all the directories building a file list that it must then go and apply the excludes against. (The excludes list appears to be file oriented). I make this claim, as I had to constantly increase the heap space needed by ant as the number of linked directories increased. Sadly, it got to a point where ant was taking 20 minutes to run. In a workspace that did not have too many linked RCS directories (like,3) ant only takes 20 seconds to run (when there were a small number of files to recompile)
We are embarking on a new project that will have more linked directories than previously encountered and no real way to eliminate the need. Can someone tell me how to tell ant to ignore a directory, at least for a javac command? This would be a big help. thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
