This is expected behavior when Indexing is turned off. Xcode uses the
index to provide build dependencies and without that information it
needs to recompile all the .java source files to ensure correct
builds.
I think most java compilers (javac, jikes, ajc) take care of
dependencies and what files actually need recompilation without
needing assistance from the ide. Just point them to the sources and
the same builddir and they should be doing the right thing.
That's only partly true. I'm pretty sure both javac and jikes will
compile every file that you pass to them, whether they need they're out
of date or not. The extra bit the compilers do is that they'll compiler
any other source files that they find in the -sourcepath command line
argument that are out of date.
