In general you don't compile files one by one in ant, but all at once
- so circular dependencies don't cause a problem:
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" debug="yes"/>
Where this doesn't work as good as having a target per source file
(the approach you've shown) is when a change in A.java forces you to
recompile B.java as well. This is where you'd use a single depend
task for all files before the single javac task (or an aternative to
the javac task like javamake that you can find by browsing the
external tools page).
