I just wrote the following test build.xml:
<project name="test" default="test" basedir=".">
<property name="get.dbversion.build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="db.root.dir" value="src"/>
<mkdir dir="${get.dbversion.build.dir}/src"/>
<mkdir dir="${db.root.dir}"/>
<target name="check.db.schema.up.to.date" >
<uptodate property="db.schema.up.to.date"
targetfile="${get.dbversion.build.dir}/src/dbinfo.properties" >
<srcfiles dir= "${db.root.dir}" >
<include name="DBInfo.java" />
<include name="GetDbInfo.java" />
</srcfiles>
</uptodate>
</target>
<target name="test1"
depends="check.db.schema.up.to.date"
if="db.schema.up.to.date">
<echo message="$${db.schema.up.to.date} =
"${db.schema.up.to.date}""/>
<echo message="No need for a build"/>
<touch file="${db.root.dir}/DBInfo.java"/>
<touch file="${db.root.dir}/GetDbInfo.java"/>
</target>
<target name="test2"
depends="check.db.schema.up.to.date"
unless="db.schema.up.to.date">
<echo message="$${db.schema.up.to.date} =
"${db.schema.up.to.date}""/>
<echo message="Need to rebuild"/>
<touch file="${get.dbversion.build.dir}/src/dbinfo.properties"/>
</target>
<target name="test"
depends="test1,test2"/>
</project>
As you can see, my "check.db.schema.up.to.date" target is the same
code that you gave in your example, and I had no problems with this
particular build file with the outofdate task.
Why not test this build.xml file and see if it works for you? All you
have to do is put it into a test directory, and run "ant" on it. It
will automatically create the needed files and directories. Each time
you run this build.xml, it will alternate between saying that the
project is out of date and isn't out of date.
If this build.xml file doesn't work for you, then is probably an issue
with your installation of either Java or Ant.
