I've seen in a previous post the following way of "including" targets from
an external file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY commonTargets SYSTEM "../build-calls.xml">
]>
I put an "init" target in the build-calls.xml and put the above in a
build.xml file. My default target (set) depends on the "init" target but
when I execute ant I get
BUILD FAILED
Target 'init' does not exist in this project. It is used from target 'set'.
Is there a way to get this to work?
Thanks
