Re: Is there an option for auto-create output dirs when compiling with javac?

Before someone says something, you could use make itself as well

But nobody in their right mind would. You could also use shell scripts to automate the construction of target directories and the like. I've seen that done at major Java EE installations.

Why should there be? javac is a cross-platform compiler, not a file-system manager. Is there really a requirement that Sun anticipate one's failure to set up one's own environment correctly?

Ant does everything. If you are trying to automate builds, there is no better choice.
