Hello All,
This post does not have anything to do with Linux, but some of you
may be able to help since you're Unix users.

I'm having some problems using CVS with a pretty large Java API. The problem
is pretty basic, I want my CVS repository to contain only java source files.
This is necessary because (1) I don't want CVS to try and merge .class
files and (2) people working with the repository should need to do a cvs add
on only the source file and not the new .class file. My problem is
with dependencies. Many of the classes depend on other classes that
may not have been created yet in the 'make all' build process. I've played
around with javac -depend but I don't think it likes how I organize
my source environment. I have all .java files under a src directory
in each subpackage directory. So if I have a package called foo.bar
the directory hierarchy would look like this:
foo/bar contains the .class files
and foo/bar/src contains the .java files
I refuse to mix the .java and .class files and think it is ridiculous how
java tools expect this.
Dependencies are not a problem once all the .class files are around, but
when a user checks out a new repository I don't want them to get any .class
files. Basically, the first thing that should be done after checking out the
repository is a 'make all' so that all the .class files are built.
Has anyone ever solved this problem. This is the first time I've really
wished for header files, because C/C++ does not have this problem during
compile time.
