compiling wholly biased source tree ant

say i have sources src/ tree (and presumably test/ tree). contend i accumulate wholly part tree. reasons since i competence wish various. only an example, i competence wish emanate smallest illusory jar (without including certain classes), i competence wish fastest accumulate i am compiling. i definitely wish accumulate dependencies, though!

this simply achieved management line with:

javac -d build/ -cp whatever -sourcepath src src/path/to/myclass.java

now, ant? javac termite :

the source finish directory
recursively scanned java
source files compile.

one excludes includes parameters, nonetheless mysterious purpose. fact, seems definitely setup includes (not involuntary dependency lookup), even worst :

when both inclusion ostracism are
used, wholly files/directories that
review during slightest include
patterns don't review any the
bar patterns used.

thus, can't

<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" classpathref="classpath"
            excludes="**/*.java" includes="src/path/to/myclass.java" />  

because accumulate anything :-(

is there any proceed achieving rudimentary management line javac ant?

edited: conclude your answer, sadie, i'm usurpation it, since does work proceed i wondering question. nonetheless i have integrate comments (too enlarged critique domain your answer):

1) i review support (see links above), nonetheless it's misleading only includes indeed also proud all else

2) only includes termite logs something like

[javac] compiling 1 source record /my/path/to/build

even dependencies compiling (much) some-more only source file.
