Ok,
I'll give it a try. I didn't know I could do this.
I now see that the ANT task says you can do
this( "used to build subprojects" ).
So I'll try the following in my main XML file:
<target name="A">
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
<target name="B" depends="A">
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
<target name="C" depends="B">
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
or maybe
<target>
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
</target>
Thanks again T Master,
-Joe
