Description rsivan 2004-09-21 14:01:00 UTC 
The IDE on 4.0 is consistently missing 
compilation of source files which should be 
affected by a change in a referred class.
Even in the most trivial case of changing a 
superclass I often don't get subclasses compiled.

Reassigning to ant module.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-09-27 16:33:20 UTC 
If a file X.java is newer than the corresponding X.class, or X.class
is missing, NB asks Ant to compile it using <javac> thus javac. Javac
will compile any out of date files it finds that are referred to
recursively from the selected files. But if A.java depends on B.java,
and you compile both and then modify B.java, A.java will not
automatically be recompiled. To do so requires some additional tool to
check for inverse dependencies. Adding such a tool (e.g. JavaMake, or
Ant's <depend>) has been considered, but is not done for 4.0.
