Rob,

I believe you are looking for something like this?

The issue that people have with Java and generated sources are that Java ->
Class behavior is 1:N, and the Java builder must parse all *.java files in
order to create a valid target list; thus, until SWIG creates the *.java
files, the SCons DAG is incomplete.

I have been wanting to propose changing the current Java builder paradigm
for a while. I think that we should mimic the Ceylon model. Make *.class
files intermediate byproducts. This takes care of the common issues SCons
faces with the current Java builder approach. I have discussed this a few
times in the mailing lists. I think it is worth discussing further.
