[Scons-users] Questions about building Java code

[Dirk Heinrichs]

Hi,

I'm doing a little evaluation of Scons as a possible replacement for
Ant. I've setup a small test build containing two .java files and did a
typical build, edit, build cycle. This is what I got:

% scons -Q
/usr/bin/javac -d classes -sourcepath src src/ExtraClass.java src/MainClass.java
% vim src/MainClass.java
% scons -Q
Retrieved `classes/ExtraClass.class' from cache
/usr/bin/javac -d classes -sourcepath src src/ExtraClass.java src/MainClass.java

Two things look strange here:

1) Why is classes/ExtraClass.class retrieved from the cache although its
source file didn't change?
2) Why is anything retrieved from the cache at all when javac
recompiles all the files afterwards?

Thanks...

	Dirk
