You can use <src> to select the source directories you want to compile:
<property name="target.dir" value="${basedir}/target"/>
<property name="customer.dir" value="CustomerYY"/>
<property name="javac.source" value="1.3"/>
<property name="javac.target" value="1.3"/>
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="${target.dir}/compile"/>
<javac
destdir="${target.dir}/compile"
source="${javac.source}"
target="${javac.target}">
<src dir="${source.dir}/TopSrc">
*<include file="*.java"/>*
</src>
<src dir="${source.dir}/${customer.dir}"/>
</javac>
By saying <include file="*.java"/>, I eliminate all sub-directories from my
compile path including the customer directories. However, it also may
eliminate any other subdirectories I might also want that aren't customer
directories. You might be able to do this too:
<javac
destdir="${target.dir}/compile"
source="${javac.source}"
target="${javac.target}">
<src dir="${source.dir}/TopSrc">
*<exclude Customer*/**"/>*
</src>
<src dir="${source.dir}/${customer.dir}"/>
</javac>
That *should* include all subdirectories, but the ones that start with
Customer*. However, I've never tried it, so I am not 100% sure it will work.
One hint: You can use <property> to set defaults that can be overridden on
the command line. I normally include a bunch of <javac> defaults:
<property name="javac.destdir" value="{target.dir}/classes"/>
<property name="javac.src" value="${basedir}/src"/>
<property name="javac.nowarn" value="off"/>
<property name="javac.debug" value="off"/>
<property name="javac.debuglevel" value="lines,vars,source"/>
<property name="javac.deprecation" value="off"/>
<property name="javac.listfiles" value="false"/>
<property name="javac.verbose" value="false"/>
<property name="javac.failonerror" value="true"/>
<target name="compile">
<javac
destdir="${javac.destdir}"
srcdir="${javac.srcdir}"
nowarn="${javac.nowarn}"
debug="${javac.debug}"
debuglevel=${javac.debuglevel}"
deprecation=${javac.deprecation}"
listfiles="${javac.listfiles}"
verbose="${javac.verbose}"
failonerror="${javac.failonerror}"/>
Now, let's say a developer decides he needs to list the files that are
getting compiled, and he wants verbose output from the javac task, he could
invoke Ant this way:
$ ant -Djavac.listfiles="true" -Djavac.verbose="true" compile
This will override the default settings in the <javac> task without having
to modify the actual build.xml file itself.
And, one more hint: We always create a subdirectory called "target" under
the ${basedir} where we put all our compiled and workfiles. This makes
cleaning up very easy since all I have to do is delete the target directory.
It makes it much easier to write our clean target. Plus, if you use a source
control system, your build generated files aren't intermingled with the
actual source code and prevents developers from accidently checking in build
generated files.
