I'm trying to write an ant build file to invoke another ant build file
on each directory in a certain directory.  For example, if this were my
directory structure:

/a
/a/b
/a/c
/a/d

I would want to invoke an ant script to perform a task on /a/b, /a/c,
and /a/d.  I don't know ahead of time what directories will exist in /a,
so I can't hard code them.

I attempted to use "execon" like this:

		<execon executable=3D"ant.bat" type=3D"dir">
			<arg line=3D"-buildfile package.xml
-Dpackage.name=3D"/>
			<srcfile/>
			<fileset dir=3D"deploy/packages"
defaultexcludes=3D"false">
				<include name=3D"*"/>
			</fileset>
		</execon>

This fails, however, because execon places a space after the arg line. =20

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Chris Greenlee
