Oops, sorry, I pressed <enter> before filling out the form.

Anyway... this is a task that calls a target without creating a new Project as 
CallTarget (antcall).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beware though that it's *not* reentrant, thus acting as a *direct* call to the 
target without further dependency resolution  and without any property 
scope.                           
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Example snippet that shows the speed difference (I used it in the embed 
proposal test.xml file):

  <target name="test-runvscall" depends="test-run, test-call"/>
    
  <target name="test-run">
    <taskdef classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.RunTarget"
             name="antrun" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />            
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />       
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />       
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />
    <antrun target="main" />               
  </target>

  <target name="test-call">
    <taskdef classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.RunTarget"
             name="antrun" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />            
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />       
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />       
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />
    <antcall target="main" />           
  </target>


The need?

I ask the user what task it should run using an input task, and then I should 
just run it, without scoping whatsoever.
In this regard RunTarget is much better:

      <input message="Please select a target "
             addproperty="input.selection"/>

      <antrun target="${input.selection}"/>
