javac dependencies

["Goldstein, Joel" <jo...@eccelerate.com>]

When using javac from the command line and combining sourcepath and
classpath it will compile dependencies if the class files do not exist or
are out of date.
I can't seem to be able to do this using the javac task for ant. Is it at
all possible? if yes how is it done? I tried using the sourcedir and
classpath but this doesn't seem to do it. any help would be appreciated
thanks

I posted patch for the dependency tracking in javac taskdef a month or two ago,
also Conor MacNeil wrote the similar thing, but using separate taskdef.
Search e-mail archive for this patches or if you cannot post your 
request here or directly to me and I'll send you both of this patches.
