I would at least expect as much flexibility with ant. Your last suggestion is exactly what I'm doing now and it's far too messy. If you add a target to a sub build then you have to move up the heirarchy and place it in the higher level build file also. I also need to be able to have all targets go through a catchall type target. We need to be able to do this list/pattern matching thing. In make I can use things like '$$@' to reference the current target. I should be able to do a similar thing with ant. I can also wildcard match targets. I can also have targets go through multiple target stanzas. I don't buy the 'wild scripting things' argument. We've been doing this type of thing with make for eons without any problem. I ask that you reconsider this request. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
