Hi All-
Sorry about the double post. The rest of my question is here now.
I've seen a couple of rumblings in the archives on this, but I am really
confused about the ant documentation versus actual behavior on target
dependencies. The documentation (
<http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#targets>
http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#targets) seems to imply that once a
target dependency is executed it will never be executed again as a
dependency. But if i run this script here:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Test" default="get">
<target name="init">
<echo message="init called" />
</target>
<target name="getAgain" depends="init">
<echo message="getAgain called" />
<antcall target="getThird" />
</target>
<target name="getThird" depends="init">
<echo message="getThird" />
</target>
<target name="get" depends="init">
<antcall target="getAgain" />
</target>
</project>
The output I get is:
C:\Build>ant\bin\ant
Buildfile: build.xml
init:
[echo] init called
get:
init:
[echo] init called
getAgain:
[echo] getAgain called
init:
[echo] init called
getThird:
[echo] getThird
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
After reading the documentation it seems that init should only be called
once though. Why is it being called so many times?
Thanks for your help,
-Dave
