We are using lot of opensource library code, which also gets complied from

recommended. For this reason only, we wanted to selectively copy only the
files which I am using..
It also helps in some projects to know what is the exact code which make the
complete product.
Basically I am want to know though javac after it does the job, list of all
the classes it generted and from where the source code of that class was
found.
From the class files, javac could definately know what files were complied
by javac even if we consider on demand approach. Many be though this, if ant
javac has a way to say what are the sources location.. it would solve my
issue.. else I many have write some thing my self :), i.e go though all the
generated class, searching for the respective java file in source and src
paths etc..
Ok. The <depends> task contains much of the code to do this..it looks
inside .class files to see their imports and so work out which files are
out of date (and deletes them)
But even it has a problem: constant integers and other numbers (maybe
strings too) get copied into the .class files. They are not referenced
by import.
You might be able to play with filesets, to select everything in the
build/classes directory and use that to create a pattern to copy.
