Compile Tasks
Javac
Compiles the specified source file(s) within the running
(Ant) VM, or in another VM if the fork attribute is specified.
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Determines which classfiles are out-of-date with respect to their source, removing the classfiles of any other classes that depend on the out-of-date classes, forcing the re-compile of the removed classfiles.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.
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.)
