You know, there's one that I'd really love to have, but Ant doesn't seem to have: What target was Ant itself executing when called. For example, I have an build.xml with two external targets: "foo" and "bar". Both "foo" and "bar" are dependent upon targets "barfu" and "fubar". It would be nice to be able to find out when the tasks "barfu" or "fubar" are being executed whether the original task was "foo" or "bar".
I can get around this by using the <antcall> task, but that destroys the way Ant automatically determines the build order.
