Hi T Master,

I'm new to "ANT".  I've only been using it for about 3 days.
I've got all of my individual XML files done, but was thinking
I could create a main XML file to kicj off all of the other XML
files.  A sort of controller XML file.  I thought I'd use the <exec>
task within a <target> task for each XML file I wanted to run,
and that worls fine.  The probelm is thast if 1 of the <exec>'d XML
files has a compile( javac ) error, I'd like processing of the main
XMLfile to stop.  I can't find a way to make the stop happen.
I haven't tried using <ant> tasks within a <target> task, but will
give it a try.  I'll let you know what happens, unless you can tell
me that provessing will not stop this way either.


Thanks for answering my post T Master,
-Joe
