Thank you, exactly that we need.

Take a look at the <uptodate> task and use it to set a property, say 
idl.has.changed, to true.

Then create a seperate target, called invoke.idl.compiler, which contains the <exec> task to 
invoke the idlcompiler.  Use the if="idl.has.changed"  attribute of the target so that the 
<exec> will only be run if the idl.has.changed property is set.

Hello all!

I'm quite new in ant, actuallyI'm migrating from make.
Seems it is really great tool, but I have some (probably very stupid) question.

For example, I have a target for compiling something by using idl-compiler. To do it I should use exec task to make SomeFile.h from SomeFile.idl. But I want to call this exec only in case the SomeFIle.idl was changed (has later timestamp comparing to SomeFile.h). In this case I have some sort of file dependency (not a target dependency) - file SomeFile.h depends from SomeFile.idl.

Is it possible to implement this sort of dependency in ant?

With best Regards,
Alexey Kakunin
