AFAIK, the Sun javac will rebuild anything that needs rebuilt. For most projects it should just be enough to compile the executable classes, and everything else will recompile with it. This is not true for Freenet however (AFAIK), since a lot of classes (the messages, the connections, the addresses) are loaded using dynamic class.forName() calls. It should be possible to make it slightly more precise then it is, something like
javac node/Node.java testbed/TestBed.java client/InsertClient.java client/RequestClient.java message/*.java *Address.java *Connection.java *Listener.java should work, and would avoid the problem of the build scripts trying to compile broken/unfinished classes in the build. The version of KJC that comes with Kaffe does not do this though. For it to work, I found, every file that is called needs to already be compiled, or in the list of files sent to the compiler when it is run. KJC does not look for a .java file in same directory, in fact it is not even made to write the .class files to the directories it reads the java files from (the script is a hack (-directory ../.. I think it does)).
