You can use the attached jar as-is. You'll find it contains all the

Depends on what you mean by embedding. In my application I've
embedded Ant as follows:
1.) Copy org.apache.tools.ant.Main.java into your project. RENAME THIS
CLASS.
2.) Make runBuild() have either public or package access, depending on
what you need.
3.) Comment-out project.fireBuildStarted()
Does it have to be from the command line or are you willing to tolerate
pop-up dialog boxes asking for input? You also must be willing to add a
custom task to ant. If you're up to it then I've created a task that
will do it. Just let me know and I'll post it.

In general, your workaround is standard operating procedure. However,
someday you may find that you *really* do need to make an antcall and
that you *really* need to propagate the the properties from the caller
to the callee. Stefan says this is impossible, I claim he isn't devious
enough! :)

You can pass parameters with antcall, you can't with depends. Tasks
called by antcall also won't pollute your properties, i.e. your
property definitions are available to the called task, but none of the
definitions defined in that task are available to the calling task.
Antcall *does* have a
You can't nest properties like this, but is that what you want to do?
Seems to me you want something like:

deployment directories for each site you're using:
=html/.
Hope this helps.
