http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28941 [patch] javac && onCompile support ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-05-13 13:06 ------- Other code generators I'm using don't do such checks. XDoclet was just an example. A badly chosen one, I admit. You're probably right, and it would be more in Ant's spirit to use 'depends' instead of <antcall>; however, I don't see how this would solve the problem. Using 'depends' the only change in the script above would be in the "build" target: <target name="build" depends="compile,gen.hibernate.mappings,build.jar"/> Still, the major issue here is that Ant must not execute "gen.hibernate.mappings" or "build.jar" if nothing has been compiled in the previous step. IMHO, a good way to communicate that is via properties and <target if="x">. Just for curiousity: why is 'depends' much faster? This particular build script compiles 9 modules in about 30 secs. How much faster than <antcall> could 'depends' be? Are we talking milliseconds? Seconds? Using <dependset> can obviously not be faster because it has to check timestamps on files. And since it removes target files it doesn't look like a good match anyways. I'd be happy to use Ant's existing mechanisms, but I don't see a straightforward solution using its current capabilities. Hence the patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
