I've got a situation where the directory structure of the source code doesn't exactly correspond to the package structure, and therefore the javac task always recompiles. Due to a number of policy considerations I can't change the dir structure, so I've tried to work around this with some clever mapping and globbing. I couldn't come up with a solution so I thought I'd bring it here.
Here's my source directory hierarchy: src/gadget/alpha/com/company/foo src/gadget/beta/com/company/foo src/gadget/gamma/com/company/foo here's the output class hierarchy: classes/com/company/foo And to make it more difficult, the files in the 3 subdirectories all depend on each other. What's the correct way to write this so that it compiles only when the target is not up to date? Sorry if this is a trivial question, I admit I'm new to the product and am having some trouble with it.
