Is there any way to use GNU make for "depend"
purposes with JDK?
At first glance, javac seems to handle every *.java
file imported by the main source you compile. Problem
is, outside the current directory (i.e. in other
packages), more recent *.java sources seem to be
ignored if *.class files are present. Inside the
current directory, I encountered a weird effect:
I compiled Server. During the process, I got an
error on ClientConnector. I fixed the problem,
compiled Server again - and got:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
bk.server.ClientConnector
at
at bk.server.Server.<init>(Server.java:53)
The "at" line was indeed blank. I had to remove
all *.class files manually and compile again to
get rid of that error.
I would really like to avoid doing "rm *.class"
in all and every package directory that changes.
For larger projects, compiles get a bit slow.
I would also avoid maintaining dependencies
manually (on class level). Does the Emacs JDE, or
any other freely available solution, handle this?
