IDLDepend

idldepend is a task that (re)generates Java sources to be created from CORBA/IDL files.

It parses the IDL file and determines the Java files that must be generated, taking in account the modifications that can happen due to command line parameters. If any of the Java files are missing or older than the source IDL specification, it launches the specified compiler. The compilers of Orbacus, Jacorb, OpenORB, Orbix2k and Sun'JDK distributions are supported.

To speed up the process and avoid unnecesary re-parsing, it keeps the dependencies in intermediate files. This task does not launch the javac compiler as well, that is, its output are Java files and not the final bytecode.
