The buildfile does the same as the batch file. But while you can give
targets to the
batchfile like
build.bat Project1 build deploy
this can´t be done in buildfile, because there is not target 'build'. That
is defined
in project1.xml.
If your subproject have both 'build' and 'deploy' targets you can make them
accessible via
the masterbuildfile with <ant>. So
ant project2.build
would call the target 'build' on project2.xml. But you have to write that
<ant>-calls for
all targets for all subprojects. Because thats too much, you can generate.
But I think the batch solution is the better one.
