Huh? There's a big difference between the first and the second -- the
first will result in running the "myInit" target and the "showMe" target
within the same execution of 'ant', so the <echo> of the "Me" property
will have a value for the property. The second will run the "myInit"
target within one execution of 'ant', then the "showMe" target within
another execution of 'ant', so the <echo> of the "Me" property will not
have a value.
