I generally don't use ant because it does not provide the fine-grained file-by-file dependency checking that make does. When building large projects you generally want to be able to build incrementally, that is, build exactly and no more than is necessary to accommodate the files that have changed. Unfortunately, ant does not support this form of building.
I could certainly compile them by hand. In fact, in vi I have a key mapped to 'make' the current file. So if I happen to be editing a JSP file, make (and therefore vi) knows how to handle it. As someone mentioned, jspc generates a java file which then has to be compiled with javac. But if the java file can be successfully generated, that's enough for me. I just want to make sure that the file is syntactically correct, so that when I do load it into my app server, I know it will compile properly. cc Edoardo Comar wrote: > I see. > Can't you use ANT to invoke jspc ? > many of us asked as a feature customizable keybinding for ant targets. > > Edo > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Christopher Cobb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: 27 November 2001 16:48 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Eap-list] Feature Requests > > > > > > I don't want any wizards, either.
