Does anyone know if it's possible to have a central build file call out
dynamically to whatever slave build files it can find under it's =
directory.

Our project consists of many modules that are frequently added to.  Each =
has
it's own build file.  These all have the same targets and are all called
minibuild.xml. =20

We then have a central build file that calls out to these slave files =
and
builds each of them. =20

What I'd like to be able to do is avoid the need to edit the central =
file
when a new module is added to the project.  The default case would be =
the
developer would just put the standard minibuild.xml file in the root
directory of their module and the regular build process would pick it up =
and
run the relevant target (clean, build, etc.).

Does anyone know how this might be achieved.  If possible without =
resorting
to writing custom build files.

Grateful for any pointers...
