javac and includesfile

[David Bailey <da...@lawson.com>]

I've noticed that if one adds the 'javac' rule to a target and specifies
a list of files to build with the 'includesfile' attribute, ant will not
complain if it cannot find one or more of the listed files.  Instead, it
ignores them and reports a successful build.  This is a bit disturbing;
it seems that a warning of some sort would be appropriate.

Also, in looking through the code for the 'javac' rule and others, I
notice a number of methods which seem to exist for logging purposes, but
as yet they don't seem to produce an actual log file for a build.

Does anyone know whether efforts are being made to improve either of
these situations, and if so, when the improved code will be available?

Thanks,
