  I have defined an interface "FooConstants" which contains a number of static 
  final declarations.  I have many classes which implement this interface in 
  order to get access to these "constants".  If I change the interface, however, 
! <depend> does not cause these classes to recompile.

! Are these constants objects or primitive types?
! 
! For promitive types, the compiler is allowed to inline the values of final
! variables - leaving no trace of where the definition came from in the generated
! class file.  <depend> doesn't get the information that the class is dependant on
! the interface and thus doesn't work.  See this thread for some ideas of
! weorkarounds: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=99590095900005&w=2&r=1
