Ant - create a build file

Question

Hi,
I am working on creating a build.xml which will compile my source code, and create a jar.
My project that I need to compile though references another project...this is where I am having problems. Here is the scenario
C:\projectA\src\HelloWorld.java
C:\projectB\src\com\helloworld\HelloWorldDialog.java
....so my build.xml file looks like
<project name="Hello World" default="dist" basedir=".">
     <target name="compile">
          <javac srcdir="." destdir="\build" includes="C:/projectB/src/com/helloworld/**"  debug="on" listfiles="true">
               <include name="**/*.java" />
          </javac>
     </target>
     <target name="jar" depends="compile">
     </target>
     <target name="dist" depends="jar">
          <echo>Build complete</echo>
     </target>
</project>...I havent filled out the jar part, etc yet....just trying to get through the compile.
I get errors that point to the imports in projectA's HelloWorld.java...it complains that "package com.helloworld" does not exist....any ideas? I have tried reading the ant javac manual and searching google, but havent solved this yet...so I thought I'd try here.
thanks

Answer 1

is this what you meant, b/c i still cant get it to compile
<project name="Hello World" default="dist" basedir=".">
     <target name="compile">
          <javac srcdir="./src" destdir="./build" debug="on" listfiles="true">
               <classpath>
                    <pathelement location="C:/eclipse/worksspace/projectB/bin" />
                    <fileset dir="C:/eclipse/workspace/projectB/bin/">
                         <include name="**/*.class" />
                    </fileset>
               </classpath>
               <include name="**/*.java" />
          </javac>
     </target>
     <target name="jar" depends="compile">
     </target>
     <target name="dist" depends="jar">
          <echo>Build complete</echo>
     </target>
</project>
