Try:
ant t1 t2
with build.xml:
<project default="t1-t2">
<target name="init">
<property name="init" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="t1" depends="init">
<property name="t1" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="t2" depends="init">
<echo message="t1 = ${t1}"/>
<echo message="init = ${init}"/>
</target>
<target name="t1-t2" depends="t1, t2" />
</project>
and compare it to:
ant t1-t2.
In both cases, the property t1 is visible to target t2, but the fact that
init is called twice when both t1 and t2 are on the command line tells me a
different Project (like for <antcall>) is used, but different projects
should not see each others properties (Project for t2 is not a child of
Project for t1, it should be a sibling).
What I would actually prefer is 'ant t1 t2' work the same as 'ant t1-t2',
and always have init called only once! It makes no sense to me to have
<init> execute twice when 2 targets are on the ant command line!!! --DD
