Thanks Prashant for reply. I am talking for the situation where a.java, b.java and c.java are independent java code files.

I do not think you would really want other source files to *not* compile when you have deleted a dependent source file. Imagine class A uses class C and you deleted class C (manually, and not using a modern IDE). Even though the time stamp for class A did not change, you would want to recompile both A, and C. You could have a cleancompile target in your build.xml <target name="cleancompile" depends="remove.classes.dir, compile, jar"/> The "remove.classes.dir" target would remove all the class files from the ${dest} directory. In the sited Phase 2, you would run the cleancompile target, instead of simple 'jar' target. This would remove C.class along with other class files from ${dest} directory. During the next compilation since C.java is deleted C.class will not be generated, and you jar will not have c.class. Hope this helps. -Prashant On Wed, 2007-06-27 at 10:10 +0800, Yadav, Akshat Kumar wrote: > Thanks Steve!
