Ant compile dependencies

Sirs,

I got a huge project with a lot of modules with separated sources (e.g. x:/xyz/src, x:/abc/src, etc), and I'm trying to compile the whole thing using Ant. The problem is that some modules depends on others, witch gives me headaches to compile the project.

I'm excluding some packages in the compilation, but I think I'll get crazy doing this job, so I'd like to know if you guys know some tool that generates some kind of dependencies tree. I would use that in my main class, and all the others called from it would be shown. Like this way I'd compile just the needed classes.

I tried JDepend, but this tool work only on packages. I need to target the main class.

Any idea?

Thx

there might be another way..

actually your dependency three coudl be how you set up your parent an child build files..

for an example of how to do this look at:

etiher these two books:

Java Development with ANt published by Manning

Ant Developers Handbook published by SAMS

in my humbl eopinion the book publihed by manning has some better exampels of this that I describe.
