That does help: I realized I should amend my question. The ANTLR task included with Ant is very old, so I am using an exec task to run the parser generator instead. How do I add incremental build awareness to my build-grammar target? Currently, the build target depends on the build-grammar target. The build-grammar target is run every time, regardless of whether or not my grammar file has changed.
