Compile Tasks

Task Name Description
Depend Determines which classfiles are out-of-date with respect to their source, removing the classfiles of any other classes that depend on the out-of-date classes, forcing the re-compile of the removed classfiles. Typically used in conjunction with the Javac task.
Javac Compiles the specified source file(s) within the running (Ant) VM, or in another VM if the fork attribute is specified.
JspC Runs the JSP compiler. It can be used to precompile JSP pages for fast initial invocation of JSP pages, deployment on a server without the full JDK installed, or simply to syntax-check the pages without deploying them. The Javac task can be used to compile the generated Java source. (For Weblogic JSP compiles, see the Wljspc task.)
NetRexxC Compiles a NetRexx source tree within the running (Ant) VM.
Rmic Runs the rmic compiler on the specified file(s).
Wljspc Compiles JSP pages using Weblogic's JSP compiler, weblogic.jspc. (For non-Weblogic JSP compiles, see the JspC task.
