["Jesse Glick (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-21?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=307721#comment-307721 ] 

Jesse Glick commented on MCOMPILER-21:
--------------------------------------

Note that Ant's {{<depend>}} does a reasonably good job of figuring out which dependent classes need to be recompiled. Can still be fooled by compile-time constants (at least until JDK 8 javac which addresses this), and things get more complicated when JSR 269 is used to generate classes and/or resources.

> there are probably other ways we can make the compiler stale check smarter. List them out here if you think of them.
