Ant only passes those files that need to be compiled and are not in the exclusion list
to javac. I tried out an example based on Nathan's problem and I got perfect results
as expected. My build script is :
<property name="srcDir" value="c:\temp\testingAnt\srcdir" />
<property name="buildDir" value="c:\temp\testingAnt\buildDir" />
<target name="compile" description="clean up" >
<javac
srcDir="${srcDir}"
destdir="${buildDir}"
classpath="${classpath}"
debug="off">
<include name="com/**" />
<exclude name="com/package1/File1.java"/>
<exclude name="com/package2/File2.java"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="clean" description="clean up" >
<delete dir="${buildDir}/com" failonerror="false" />
</target>
I ran the above script with a directory structure as follows:
\srcdir
|--com
|----package1
| |---File1.java (imports File3)
| |---File3.java
|----package2
|---File2.java
Results: The files File1.java & File2.java never ever get compiled. Every time I run
with target clean or touch File3.java, only the File3.java gets compiled.
And that is expected behaviour. So Nathan check your directory structure and script
again. Try out the above if you still have doubts.

Java compilers will compile whatever files they need, if they can find
them (which, since these two files live in the same source path as the
other files you're compiling, it will). So if these two are referenced by
the files you do want to compile, the compiler will go find them and
compile them, regardless of whether they're in the actual list of files
you've handed off to the compiler.
