i know that ant javac task is smart enough to know that it doesn't need to recompile if it's uptodate. so there's no harm there. furthermore, you're recompiling only a single example, not the whole tutorial.
anyhow, i think i'm just not used to specifying multiple targets from the command line. i'm getting used to it though. either way it's no big deal. i was just curious to understand the build file design and you've answered that question.
i do most of my ant work according to what makes sense to me.. that is, i don't have a good feel for the accepted styles or norms. :-)
thanks, eitan

Hi Eitan,
This is deliberate, so that you can rerun a particular example without going through the whole compile/bind process. If you run ant without a target the output lists all the targets and tells the difference. Do you think this is a bad approach?

hi dennis,
i noticed that the tutorial build.xml has a number of targets called runX to run each of the examples.
each depends on configX,run-example.
the problem is that run-example does not depend on compile and run-bind so the runX targets cannot run successfully. i mean, there is no way for example to compile a given example, say example 1, except of course, if you list multiple targets in order from the command line, as in:
ant config1 compile run-bind run1
why not simply just make the two dependencies explicit, as in:
<target name="run-bind" depends="compile" .. <target name="run-example" depends="run-bind" ..
( then, full-test can also simplify to depends="clean,run-example" .. )
just a suggestion.
thanks, eitan
