Javac NullPointerException -- Please help

[Zhendi Su <Zh...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile a package under a common root.  Since I don't
want the compiler to recompile all the files over and over, I only
specified the root directory in my srcdir attribute and then used
include/exclude filters, as suggested in the user manual.  My javac task

is as follows:

<javac  srcdir="${JAVA_TOP}" includes="oracle/apps/okc/common/**"
destdir="${okcbasedir}/classes" target="1.1"
bootclasspath="${bootclasspath}" extdirs=" " depend="True"
failonerror="${javacfailonerror}" >

When I ran ant, however, it gave me an error:

    [javac] Compile failed, messages should have been provided.


The interesting thing is, if I change depend="True" to depend="False",
everything works fine.  But for our build it's desired that we check
dependencies during compilation.  Can someone
please give me some pointers?   Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Recommendation: File the bug report, as requested, and look into using
Ant's (optional) <depend> task instead of setting the 'depend' attribute.
