I've just started with Ant this afternoon and found the documentation
very food.

I've been trying to do a simple build with my goal to generate a file
including the time stamp which I can read in my applet to display on an
about screen. Here's my build.xml :

<project name="MyProject">

<description>

MyProject build file

</description>

<property name="src" location="src"/>

<property name="build" location="classes"/>

<property name="dist" location="classes"/>

<target name="init">



<tstamp>

<format property="Now" pattern="d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"/>

</tstamp>

</target>

<target name="compile" depends="init"

description="compile the source " >

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>

</target>

<target name="dist" depends="compile"

description="generate the distribution" >

<jar jarfile="${dist}/MyProject.jar" basedir="${build}"/>

</target>

</project>

Doing an "ant" sats build successful but nothing appears to have been
done. There are no .java or a .jar built. Here's the output from an "ant
- debug" :

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Ps. I tried to join with my gmail account but the spam filters on the
