Hello,

I see you also posted a question about antelope, so I'm assuming you 
have looked at the various "call" tasks included? If not, look at 
'antfetch' (similar to 'ant'), 'antcallback' (similar to 'antcall') and 
'call' (not similar to anything, but seems to be what many people expect 
antcall to be.

The way I have set it up is a main project does some initialization work then makes a ant call for every software a user wish to install (meaning knowledge of install of a software is contained in a separate file). What I want to do is that, if a software install fails, I need to clean up all the install that has happened till that point. But the knowledge of the fact that the install has failed is only available to the sub project whereas the "clean task" has to be initiated from the main project. Wondering any idea how to achieve this?
