Description _ tboudreau 2003-04-03 18:08:48 UTC 
If I modify apichanges.xml or similar docs in the
Javadoc build
target, I have to build the entire Javadoc because
these docs come
at the end of the process.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2003-04-03 18:39:07 UTC 
It could separately check up-to-date status for (1) Javadoc, (2)
apichanges, (3) arch. However that would not interact smoothly with
substitution of tokens in the generated files, which expects to be
done as one big sweep. Maybe there is some work around.

Do not plan to deal with it anytime soon though. Just make
apichanges.xml edits with a DTD-aware editor (Emacs + PSGML or NB) and
anyway you should be running a clean build to check your changes,
which would catch the occasional problem.

e2917512ff8c implemented syntax checks for this file during every nb.org module build.
