[news.eclipse.tools] Ant javac log files being overwritten

[Eric Simpson <esimpson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a component build scripts which calls 4 plugin build scripts to
generate each of the plugins' jar files.  Some of the plugins generate
multiple jar files.  When a jar is being generated by the PDE's javac
task, it sends its output to log file with a name based on the "out"
property.

If you run a particular plugin build script and build a specific jar,
the log file is generated correctly (for each of my jar files, I have
specified a specific "out" property).  If you build all the jars for a
specific plugin, it seems that the first "out" property is used for the
log file name for EACH of the jars.  So, the log file for one jar is
overwritten by the log of the next jar's build.

How can each of the jars have their own log files and yet be built
together?  One thought I just had was to change my "jar" target in each
of the plugin build scripts to call each jar specifically (using
"antcall")  instead of using the "depends" attribute.

Thanks,
Eric
