What you describe - while useful is not something that ant alone is meant to solve. Instead of having generic buildfiles I would recomend that instead something like XSLT be used to build specific build files for each product. However if your build.xml files change regularly this can be painful and I don't know what would be best ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
