javac element and depend attribute

Hi all,
As I was looking into the depend attribute of javac element in the Ant
documentation, it says this attribute "enables dependency tracking for
compilers that support this (jikes and classic)" ---- does that mean the
modern compiler (jdk 1.3) doesn't support dependency tracking? I would be
surprised if 1.3 doesn't do that!!!

but it is true, no -depend and no -Xdepend attribute for the "new"
javac of J2SE 1.3.
