How large is your codebase that you are looking to use incremental
compilation. Most java compilers are pretty fast and re-compiling 1000
classes doesn't take very long (couple seconds).
The issue is that the tool that determines if a class needs to be re-
compiled must fully understan
It depends on what you think of "incremental compilation".
- differences in the number of files are compiled
- differences inside files are not recognized: the whole file will be
recompiled.
But these is not Ant specific - this is based on the underlying compiler,
usually the one fr
Hi,
according to the docs it seems, that ant is (still) not suitable for
incremental compilation. Is that true?

The most obvious example of these limitations is that the task can
