Reuse and execution control in Ant?

Maybe you can put your ant code to give a better answer. But one way to do that is to use the depends attribute target name="prepare"> //do something to prepare //do something to cleanup //build production //build debug //do something or nothing.

Maybe you can put your ant code to give a better answer. But one way to do that is to use the depends attribute //do something to prepare //do something to cleanup //build production //build debug //do something or nothing With this you are telling to ant that before execute the "build-production-debug" target you want to first run all the targets listed on "depends" attribute an do it on that order.

Thanks for you answer, sorry I didn't give enough info to help you help me. Depends here isn't sufficient since I needed something more like "prepare -> build-production -> cleanup" and then "prepare -> build-debug -> cleanup". – Stephen Swensen Apr 20 at 15:31.

Here's the outline of what I came up with, I am still using antcalls but only as an entry point in order to parameterize my builds. The key discovery for me was using the if condition on a target, to control whether the target gets executed, noting that the targets in its depends chain still execute. The condition and isset tasks also helped out in certain places.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
