This would allow the + flexbility to add to a project dynamically, without requiring an edit to the + master build.xml file every time. + + This could be implemented by simply adding optional <fileset> support to + the ant task. Preference could be given to the antfile attribute, but if this + is not set, then the fileset(s) could be resolved into a list of builds, + wherein the ant task would execute the target specified by the target + attribute, if it exists. + + This feature could add to the flexibility of the build process where multiple + developers may be involved, and only a few know Ant.
