So far so good. > By typing "ant test -Dskip.test=true" you will not execute any target > related to test target-group. Hmmm, I thought a target group basically had it's depends attribute basically rewritten to include whatever target declared itself to be part of this group, and since if/unless apply to the target's body and not its dependencies, if/unless would have been useless on target-groups. So either I assumed incorrectly how target-group was implemented, or what you describe above (assuming depends attribute re-writing) is incorrect. So which is it? > In opposite, > if you wanna execute explicitly "ant myTestTarget", phase attribute is > ignored (so skip.attribute should not be applied).
