Style task

[Russell Gold <ru...@acm.org>]

Does the style task check its targets to see if it has already run? It 
seems to be generating its results over and over for me.

And the answer is, yes, it does - if the target directory exists. So the 
next question is either: how do I duplicate a directory structure, or can 
the style task automatically ensure that the directories it needs exist, 
creating them as needed (as javac does)?

Sooner or later ... Depends on how long it takes somebody to submit a
patch.

Oops - I blamed the wrong task. The style task is behaving correctly.

The problem I am having is a bit different. I am using the style task to 
generate a java file, which I then compile. The problem is that that file 
is being recompiled over and over again, even thought STYLE is correctly 
not generating it.

Now as I am using it, I understand why the recompilation is happening - the 
generated java file has a package statement, but Style doesn't know to 
place it in the appropriate directory, so javac thinks it needs to 
recompile it.

Will the style task handle directory trees? I could just place the .xml 
into the appropriate directory...
