newbie question re srcdir and destdir (edg)

[Ed Greenberg <ed...@greenberg.org>]

I'm trying to understand my first ant scripts.

I have
<project basedir="." default="all" name="myapp">
	...
    <target depends="init" name="compile">
         <javac debug="true" deprecation="true" destdir="./WEB-INF/classes" 
srcdir="./src"/>
    </target>
	...
</project>

My build.xml sits in the same directory as src/ and WEB-INF/.

I have one source file located in
	./src/foo/loo/moo/test.java
When I execute this script, I get a directory tree created as
	

I would have expected the compiler to create
	./WEB-INF/classes/foo/loo/moo/test.class
given the statement in the ant manual that:

  <javac srcdir="${src}"
         destdir="${build}"
         classpath="xyz.jar"
         debug="on"
  />
compiles all .java files under the ${src} directory,
                         ^^^^^
and stores the .class files in the ${build} directory.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
</edg>

If and only if the class test lives in the package foo.loo.moo.

javac will create your directory hierarchy according to your package
hierarchy and distribute the class files accordingly.
