Hi,

I have a strange problem when using ant in combine with Eclipse. It seems
that eclipse dont change the time the file was changed (or something like
that). Anyway, when I edit a java file and then want to do a build, I run my
ant task. the problem is that it doesnt compile any files if there is an old
class file in the output directory. I know the build.xml works for "manual"
builds as I tested running it from a dos-promt and edit the java file in
another editor. I dont want to fix this through a "clean" task in the
build.xml so that is not an option. I guess there is something small I have
missed somewhere.

<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
</target

<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac classpath = "${classpath}"
srcdir = "${src}"
destdir = "${build}"
deprecation = "on"
debug= "on"
>
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</javac>
</target>

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think this is because you have Eclipse's auto compile on save option set.
In this case ant won't compile any source because the class files are always
up-to-date with the source.
To manage auto compile, see Window-->Preferences-->Workbench-->Perform build
automatically on resource modification.

HTH,

Hi,

Thanks for the help. That solved my issue with the compiling. I just have a
follow-up question on this..:)
When I compile i only get this in the Console:

Buildfile: D:\Project\myproject\build.xml

init:

compile:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 411 milliseconds

Even though it really compiles some files. Im looking for the setting to set
so I see something like this:

compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to D:\Project\myproject\lib

As one do in the dos-prompt.

Thanks again!
