Re: Scaling to large projects

[M. Erik Husby]

The simplest way to scale to a large project is to organize your directories in a fashion similar to this:

project

build.xml
- src
(all package sources)

- classes
(where all class files will end up.)

- lib
(where all third party jar files live)

- deploy
( where you put the deployable files )


Then your build.xml can contain things like:
<path id="base.path">
<pathelement location="./classes"/>
<fileset dir="./lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>

<javac destdir="./classes">
srcdir="./src">
<classpath refid="base.path"/>
</javac>


Javac will compile everything under the source directory. You are free to add packages and refactor
classes as you see fit.
