Thank you all that have responded. . . but I still need help ;-)
Of all the response so far, the most relevant of which has been
"Conor MacNeill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who quoted some
of Ant's testcases. However, I'd rather not implement it where
it requires the use of an build.xml file. Reasons?
- speed
- need for inclusion of an XML parser in my final distribution.
Rather, I would like an ALL JAVA, ALL SOURCE CODE, NO EXTRA JAR solution.
What this means is that I *REALLY* want to figure out how to use the ANT
API to run the Javac task.
Any help in THAT direction would be much appreciated.
