http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4884 Dependant targets fire unnecessarily [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-11-15 00:28 ------- For better or worse that is the way ant is designed to operate. The dependent targets (ie "something") are always processed *before* the dependee (ie "test") is processed and before dependee checks if/unless attributes. This is designed so that the dependent can set up conditions under which dependee may use. ie <target name="dependee" depends="dependent" if="property.is.set"> <echo message="This will print"/> </target> <target name="dependent" > <property name="property.is.set" value="aValue"/> </target> dependee will always printout out "this will print" If you believe this behaviour is wrong you can always make a case for changing it on mailing list and we will consider it for ant2.0 when we can break backwards compatability. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
