Yes, I assumed you were having problems getting ant to STOP recompiling
your sources. That works. But if you make a change to a source, ant
(javac) will not recompile it as it only look for a corresponding .class
without comparing timestamps or file sizes. I find I use fine grained
<deltree> targets if I'm working on a sub-project for any length of
time.
