Why not use the "dest" parameter and have the two <javac> task compile their code to two different directories. That way, when you run your build.xml again, it doesn't have to recompile everything.
I always use the "dest" parameter of the <javac> task. I mainly do this, so all code compiles into a special build directory under the directory where my build.xml is stored. I also build my *.jars there, etc. That way, my <clean> target only has to delete the special build directory. -- David Weintraub [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 8:30 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Raymond, > > Thanks for your reply. > Actually I have two <javac> task in my build.xml.
