Hello, the statement below is entered into a makefile I have created. When I
use Inprise's make tool that comes with JBuilder 3, this line is executed
continuously in an infinite loop. When I use nmake from the Visual Studio
IDE, this behavior doesn't appear and normal execution occurs.

If anyone has any suggestions as to why this behavior could be occuring with
the JBuilder3 make tool, I would like to hear from you.

$(CLASS_OBJECTS) : $(CLASS_SOURCE) $(DTD_FILE)
   javac -verbose $(CLASS_SOURCE)

CLASS_OBJECTS and CLASS_SOURCE variables appear eariler in the makefile as
such:

CLASS_OBJECTS = \
 DocumentTypeInfo.class \
 IEntities.class \
 Factory.class \
 ...

CLASS_SOURCE = \
 DocumentTypeInfo.java \
 IEntities.java \
 Factory.java \
 ...

Thanks in advance!
