Is there a property that holds the current target? In make, $@ contains the target you're building. "Built-in Properties" in http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/using.html indicates there isn't an ant equivalent. It would be somewhat useful to know the current target in commands within a target. For example, in <target name="dreamweaver" depends="init" > <!-- "dreamweaver" below is the same as target name --> <mkdir dir="products/dreamweaver"/> <!-- ... more tasks containing the string "dreamweaver" --> </target> <!-- same rules as above --> <target name="flash" depends="init" > <!-- "flash" below is the same as target name --> <mkdir dir="products/flash"/> <!-- ... more tasks containing the string "flash" --> </target> I'd like to use <mkdir dir="products/${ant.current_target}"/> so similar tasks have the same code. Or am I not grokking the ant philosophy? Should I instead write a generic task, and use antcall to call it with different parameters? Or should I write a custom mapper that fabricates targets for a given file? Or... ? If the documentation contained snippets of build files that show ant features working together, it would be more obvious. Thanks indeed. -- =S Page a www.macromedia.com site engineer
