The easy way is to have a common.xml that is included in
by each subproject. The common.xml would have a "foo"
target with an empty implementation.
<target name="foo"/>
Any sub project could then have there own "foo" target that
would override the imported one.
Thanks Peter. That occurred to me as well; unfortunately, I can't sell
retrofitting hundreds of build.xml files in order to make this optional
target stuff happen.
Going forward you're absolutely right: all the subprojects should be using
a common import & we plan to do that in a future release; the main issue
is that these subprojects predate import support & the sheer volume of
them means that a retrofitting effort will take too long and introduce too
much risk to an effort that the bosses want done yesterday...
