Listing filenames vs. using wildcards

[Diane Holt <ho...@yahoo.com>]

It takes Ant 48 seconds to determine it needs to compile 1 out of 10
source files, if I list the source files by name in the target. If I use a
*.java wildcard instead, it takes 11 seconds. Does that sound right? What
would it be about listing the files by name that would account for the
difference in time?

Actually, Ant seems slow in general. It takes 3 minutes for it to decide
it doesn't need to recompile any of 115 source files (it takes Jam less
than 2 seconds to figure out the same thing). Do the Ant times seem right,
or could my build.xml file just be set up really poorly? (I'm just
starting to try and use Ant, so that's a real possibility.) Are there
known ways to optimize the build.xml file for fastest results?

Thanks,
Diane

that is extremely slow - on a 400 I get 3-5 second compiles
+ jarring with about 170 files. So it may be something funny
is occuring.

Try running ant -verbose to make sure it is doing what you
think it is doing. If so email the list the bits out of
build.xml

EJB tasks

[William Ferguson <wi...@mincom.com>]

Whats the latest thinking on using Ant to deploy EJBs?

In v1.1 there are some optional EJB tasks, but they are very skewed
towards WebLogic, and I can't seem to find any recent nightly build. I'm
sure this is common, is there a plethora of EJB Tasks that someone has
stashed somewhere?
