The <depend> task is used to determine java class file dependencies.... From
the ant docs...
The depend task works by determining which classes are out of date with
respect to their source and then removing the class files of any other
classes which depend on the out-of-date classes.
For example, if you have Foo.java and Bar.java... Initially, BAR = "BAR"...
The first compilation prints BAR in both A & B.... If you change BAR = "FOO"
and recompile it only compiles Bar.java... As a result Foo prints BAR and
Bar prints FOO... You can get around this with clean, but for big projects,
clean takes too long.
public class Foo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Bar.BAR);
}
}
public class Bar {
public static final String BAR = "FOO";
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(BAR);
}
}
