Hi Raymond, Thanks for your reply. Actually I have two <javac> task in my build.xml. First <javac> task would compile everything from src dir "Adir" and jar it. Second <javac> task will compile a few java file from "Bdir" which could override some of first ones and create another jar again. If I put a delete task before second javac task, I would need to selectively delete some java classes instead of deleting the whole output directory which is a little bit complex :-). It would be nice if there is some other options to do this. I tried using "touch" java source before second <javac>. It works but it changes the source code modified time which is not desirable.

But this appears to be the most common solution to this issue.

Javac task always compare modify time with target classes. I want to recompile java source no matter target classes exists and newer. Is there any options to achieve this?
