I didn't think I did, but if I did, I didn't mean to.

Anyway, to avoid the batch script, you could use the ant-contrib <foreach> and <if> tasks instead -- for example: <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/> <target name="doM4"> <foreach target="runm4" param="m4.in"> <fileset dir="${basedir}" includes="m4files/*.??.m4"/> </foreach> </target> <target name="runm4"> <basename property="base.m4.in" file="${m4.in}" suffix=".m4"/> <dirname property="m4.dir" file="${m4.in}"/> <property name="m4.out" location="${m4.dir}/${base.m4.in}.html"/> <uptodate property="html.isUpToDate" targetfile="${m4.out}" srcfile="${m4.in}"/> <if> <isset property="html.isUpToDate"/> <then> <echo>${m4.out} is up-to-date.</echo> </then> <else> <echo>Processing ${base.m4.in}.m4 ...</echo> <exec executable="m4" output=${m4.out}> <arg value="-P"/> </exec> </else> </if> </target> Note: You will need to be running 1.5.1 to get the bug-fixed <basename>.
