Hi Gary, I tested you approach and it works and does what I needed. In master build file I include for all targets following: <property name="tmp" value="${base_dir}\\build.inc"/> <include buildfile="${project::get-base-directory()}\build.inc" unless="${file::exists(property::get-value('tmp'))}"/> <include buildfile="${tmp}" if="${file::exists(property::get-value('tmp'))}"/> So I can put build.inc into my local directory if it differs from master build. Thanks for the idea. Boni -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Feldman Sent: Montag, 7.

Check for a local build file in the project directory. If it exists, use the <nant> task to execute the build target in that file, otherwise execute the build target in the master file. 2. Import (using the <include> task) all of the local project build files, if they exist. Then, for each project named "project.name" do <call target="${project.name}-build-setup" if="${target::exists(project.name + '-build-setup')}" /> <call target="${project.name}-build-local" if="${target::exists(project.name + '-build-local')}" /> <call target="${project.name}-build-local" unless="${target::exists(project.name + '-build-local')}" /> <call target="${project.name}-build-cleanup" if="${target::exists(project.name + '-build-cleanup')}" /> The first is a bit more efficient overall, while the second allows for finer-grained control, more like an aspect-oriented approach instead of just object-oriented.
