But default that is what happens. In theory, dependencies of a target could be executed in parallel or a different order (depending on the dependencies' dependencies that is), but in practice Ant's DefaultExecutor makes sure internal is executed before external*. This behavior could be overridden by using another executor (search for executor in http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html and the mailing list too). --DD * well there could be other higher-level targets which could depends="external, one", taking precedence over one's depends="internal, external". Ant does a topological sort of the top-level target(s) called, so a non-top-level target could have its specified dependency order changed by one "higher-up". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
