One way to achieve that is not to set the properties explicitly in target 'project1', but to load them from a properties file. That way, you can still do your global target, by replacing your pseudo code 'antcall project1' by the _content_ of target1, which has become as simple as <property file="project1.properties" />. Maybe not ideal, but I cannot think of any other way. --DD
-----Original Message----- From: Nick Pellow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 10:38 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: AW: setting properties using antcall Vs ant target1 target2 . Matt, The difference between "ant target1 target2" and <target name="jar" depends="project1"> ... </target> is subtle. I use the first as a way of paramaterizing certain targets in a build file. I set certain properties specific to a sub project. ant project1 war -- builds the war for project1 ant project2 war -- builds the war for project2. This means my build file is "scalable" (in size and complexitiy) with respect to the number of sub-projects. The problem I am trying to solve is that at times, I want to build all sub projects with a simple "ant build.all" . In psuedo ant code target antcall project1 antcall war antcall project2 antcall war (where the project2 target sets properties for project2 that the war target uses.) will only build the war for project1 !
