The way I would suggest to do things with the current ant is the following. Create a master build file that contains delegating targets. Each of these targets just generate the real build file(s) from the template and then call the actual target. ie an example delegating target may be <target name="clean" depends="gen-buildfiles"> <ant antfile="mynewbuild.xml" target="clean"/> </target> An example of this in action (mainly done by Adam) is available in the jakarta-ant-myrmidon CVS. Have a look at jakarta-ant-myrmidon/build.xml (Master build file) jakarta-ant-myrmidon/tools/xsl/build.xsl (Template file) jakarta-ant-myrmidon/*/project.xml (Input data files) -- Cheers, Peter Donald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
