The javac task by default, adds the destination directory to the classpath that is being used to compile [...]
This option would be very useful in projects where explicit dependencies between packages are manually specified, and would prevent the need for workarounds to this problem - such as convoluted tricks like compiling every package in a separate temp folder, or compileWithWalls or VerifyDesign from Ant-Contrib.
If you must compile using different classpaths (or other compiler options) within a single source root, and you can't break apart your sources physically into separate source roots, you can still do it: use explicit <src/> subelements, rather than sourcedir, and include a <selector>, e.g.
http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/openide/build.xml?rev=1.187#do-lib-javac-nolocaldir
(Too complicated to serve as a very good example - sorry.)
If there are warnings/errors from the compiler, they will be hyperlinked to the proper sources, unlike the temp dir trick.
