There are two ways that I know of to use the javac target: 1) Name exactly the source file(s) you want to compile, and point it to the directory under which it can find all other .java files that may also need to be compiled; or 2) Tell it to compile somedir/**.java which will cause it to compile all java source files under the directory somedir, whether or not they are really needed by the particular application you are compiling. Lots of extra cruft. The problem with the first is that it does not check to see if a class file is older than the source. The problem with the second is that it compiles all .java files regardless of whether or not it is needed for the application. The way around it would be to name all of the .java files that *are* necessary, but this is kind of a hassle. If anyone has a better way of going about doing this, I'd be glad to hear it :). -- Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
