ant build dependencies

[harami101]

Hello,

I am trying to use ant to compile a set of packages all contained within a directory. e.g.
src/com/test/a/*
src/com/test/b/*
src/com/test/c/*
Now they have depedencies between each other. Ant does not recognize these dependencies and throws an error that it could not find the other required package on the classpath. for.eg, if com.test.b depends on com.test.a, it throws an error "cannot find symbol.."

how to make ant work in this case? I thought it will be smart enough to figure this out. Do I Need to explicitly specify all the inherent dependecies?

You should have a look at the classpath attribute of the javac task, it should point to (a list of) directories and jar files that contain the dependent code. The full description is over here:
