when I use 

  <target name="compile" depends="prepare">
    <javac srcdir="src" destdir="${build}/classes"
           classpath="lib/xerces.jar"
    />
  </target>

is ant supposed to compile my java sources in order automatically
so A.java compiles before B.java when B.java depends on A.java?

With the above target I keep getting can't find "A" class, I assume
it's not being compiled before B.

Is there anyway to get Ant to compile stuff in order without explicitly
specifying all the dependencies by hand in build.xml?
