I found that on my machines here if you tried to compile more than ~380 files jikes wouldn't do anything.  I think this was some
limitation of the size of the command passed from exec() to jikes.

I wrote a patch to the Javac task to split the list of files (if greater than 300) into smaller chunks and compile them in batches.
This may be the same approach that Matt Foemel did but it has been working for my team for almost 6 months now.  I think we are
using the 3.1 release with my patch worked in.

If anyone wants this patch that I wrote or any more info, let me know,
Mike

apart from the obvious "ant -verbose" you've probably already tried?

Hmm, how many files are you trying to compile? I've modified a patch
Matt Foemel had submitted to support a large number of files. Maybe
I've broken some functionality with this - me modifying the patch, not
commiting it?
