It appears we have 2 items here

Does Ant have a mechanism for ALWAYS executing specified targets everytime

Regardless of the Dependency tree?

No, that's easy enough to do by depending on a dummy target. What is useful is only running selected steps as necessary, reducing overall build time.

Unfortunately, the current mantra seems to be "with jikes, builds don't take very long, so just build everything". This is a very naive approach. Sorry, but it just ain't so. Throw in a few idl conversions, a few project compiles, and a final unification jar, and I don't want to wait for everything.
