Hi Dheeresh, the fact that you have a build.xml at EVERY level=20
suggests a slight mis-use of ant.  The intent is to really just
have one at the top that drives the build of the whole system,
though in my current case I have two levels, the top level
that drives everything and the subsystem level that builds an=20
entire subsystem package.

Anyway, what you want for the recursive call is the <ant> task.
