include and exclude files

[Jessica Tsou <je...@gammacomputer.com>]

To whom it may concern,

I would like to know more about include and exclude files in "java".
The documentation that I've read through so far has not been helpful.

All the changes that I've included in the mol file didn't seem to have taken
place:

	<target name="compile wrapper" depends="prepare">
		<!-- Compile the java code from ${sac} into ${build} -->
		<java scrim="${wrapper}" bestir="${wrapper}" class path="${path}"
			excludes="test. exclude"/>
	</target>

where test. exclude looks like:

$ more test. exclude
**/test*.java

Could it be that I placed this like in the wrong directory?
Also, is it possible to compile one file at a time in a given directory:
Ex.
/directory
  files1.java
  files2.java
  files3.java
  files4.java

I would like to compile "file3.java" first, then "file4.java" then the rest
of the java files.
I think the default for "java" is to compile from java1.java and on.

Thank You!

Jessica

I hope, in reality it reads

 	    <javac scrdir="${wrapper}" destdir="${wrapper}" 
                  classpath="${path}" excludes="test. exclude"/> 

Diane already pointed you to using excludesfile instead of excludes.

Yes and no.

<javac includes="**/file3.java" />
<javac includes="**/file4.java" />
<javac>

will do, but only if file3.java doesn't depend on any of the other
files (in which case the needed classes will be compiled as well).

No, the default for *javac* is to compile all four of them at the same
time.
