Re: Javac and classpath

["David Colton (ext. 799)" <Da...@fineos.com>]

Just came across this problem myself and came to the same conclusion i.e.
move it (destdir) to the end of the classpath.

Just to explain my situation.

We obfuscate our core source code and then compile the remaining code
against the obfuscated jar. But because the destination directory, where the
unobfuscated classes are, was at the top of the classpath ... 

I have a work around but implementing this change for the 1.5 release would
suit me fine.

Thanks.

	Apart from "it has always been that way", I don't really know why it
	does that.

	My guess is that Ant encourages using the -d switch while Ant users
	are probably not aware of the fact that it does so.  Moving the
	destintaion directory to the end of the classpath doesn't have any
ill
	effect that I could see right now, but that doesn't mean anything
8-)

	Others?
