RE: Compiling

Hi Bill,

I may not be the best person to answer as I'm still new here but
I can tell what worked for me :

My ant build below separates java sources, groovy sources and shared
sources.
Shared sources are e.g. java Interfaces that are used from within
java and groovy alike.

The prerequisite is that you have no cyclic dependencies through
these three entities. If you have, I have no idea how to compile that...

cheers
