i'm not too sure i understand what you mean by "chain dependencies together". In ant, a target can depend on more than one other targets (just pass a comma separated list) and ant handles generating the graph of dependent targets for you (so if target c depends on target b which depends on target a... etc). All of this is explained on the target page in the section "Using Ant" of the manual.
>If they run Script 3 they should be prompted if they want to run script >4 - otherwise the build should just stop. Ant is not a scripting language... assuming that "run script four" is a target in your build file, you could call it from within another target using the <antcall> task. You should also look into the AntContrib third party tasks, since they have an "if" task. Maybe if you gave us some more info on what you're trying to achieve? /t --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
