[Apache Ant version 1.5]
In an overly complex build.xml authored by another, I have a target init of the form:
<target description="Initialize the build process" name="init"
unless="was.inited">
<echo message="value of was.inited is ${was.inited}"/>
<property name="was.inited" value="true"/>
<echo message="value of was.inited after setting is ${was.inited}"/>
</target>
This target always seems to execute every time it's referenced in a dependency despite
the (echo'ed) setting of was.inited.
PMI, what have I misuderstood here, please?
