OPP Behaviour

[Eric Richardson <eric@milagrosoft.com>]

Hi,
I am working with OPP and found the behaviour a bit strange. If I keep
the source -ks option I need to generate into my classpath where javac
is putting my other class files but then the source file is left in the
classes area.

The generated file is in the correct package but the javac doesn't honor
the package and the classes dir from a compiling perspective.

Do you think this is wrong? The java compiler is pretty smart and looks
at the class file and the src file to see if it is out of date as well
as the way ant works.

Should the OPP take a classes directory and source path so it compiles
the file in the directory based on the package using the following
options?

-sourcepath <path>     Specify where to find input source files
-d <directory>         Specify where to place generated class files

If the following two args were passed in ProxyGenerator.java
compileSource() method to javac then I think that javac would avoid
compiling up to date proxies and perhaps OPP could look at timestamps as
well so it won't generate if the class file hasn't been changed.

What do you think? This could also potentially speed up builds.

Thanks,
Eric
