I've looked at <dependset> and if the <ejbjar> worked the way I expected then I could
use it. But then again if <ejbjar> worked the way I expected I wouldn't need it.
Anyway, what I am looking for is to run the <ejbjar> target only if a class file that
matches${build.classes.dir}/**/ejb/**/*.class has been modified since the last
execution of <ejbjar>. The <ejbjar> task deposits the results of its compilation into
${build.ejb.dir}/**/ejb. So what I would like is for the uptodate to tell me if the
most recent file in ${build.classes.dir}/**/ejb/**/*.class is more recent than the
most recent file in ${build.ejb.dir}/**/ejb/**/*.class.
I think <dependset> would do exactly what I need if it didn't delete the files and
just set a property.
