Thanks for chiming in here Barney, and my apologies for the j-newb questions.
I know I can redirect the java compiler output, and I also know that Eclipse or Netbeans or jEdit can automate that. I'd like to get up to speed a bit with Ant though, unless that seems to folks here like a really bad idea for some reason. Given that java files and class files can be in different locations and be seen by cf, how do people set up their project directories when java's involved? In general, I'd like the java files to stay with the cf code they relate to, then have Ant (or somebody) put the compiled class files wherever they need to go. Ideally, the classes should be in a location that can reasonably be mirrored on the production site for this project, ideally without adjusting the cf admin class path. I wouldn't think that putting them in WEB-INF/classes would be good from that perspective, since they're not associated with their owning app. Am I thinking about this wrong?
