http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6391 Ant doesn't detect circular "depends" within an antcall. Summary: Ant doesn't detect circular "depends" within an antcall. Product: Ant Version: 1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Build Process AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I have target A that task B depends on, i.e. <target name="A" /> <target name="B" depends="A" /> Then if I do an antcall within A to B then you have a circular dependency. i.e. <target name="A"> <antcall target="B" /> </target> you now have a circular dependency and Ant will just spin. It would be nice to have detection of this by examining the parent target chain to ensure that this can't happen. Leaving this down to the developer is feasible but can put a large burden on you when you have a large build file, i.e. > 2000 lines. Looking at the change notes for 1.4.1 it doesn't look like this issue has been tackled.
