Re: Skip building jar file

[Conor MacNeill]

Remove the line where you delete it. Ant should then not bother 
rebuilding it if none of the files has changed.

My ant script works great, skipping compile if source files have not 
changes,
and skipping copying of resources if they have not changed.

How would I prevent building the jar file if nothing has changed?
  <target name="jar" depends="compile"
      description="Builds the jar file that contains the class files">
      <delete file="${build.jardir}/${mifdoclet.jar}" />
      <mkdir  dir="${build.jardir}" />
      <jar jarfile="${build.jardir}/${mifdoclet.jar}" >
          <fileset dir="${build.classes}">
         </fileset>
      </jar>
  </target>
