http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19847 Allow target calls in same/global context Summary: Allow target calls in same/global context Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Build Process AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Building targets in form of subroutines usually enhances readability. By now, one can "call" those sub-targets by putting them in the depends argument. Recently, I often want to first do some tests for requirements before running a list of sub-targets. Doing so, each subroutine has to have an unless or if argument to check on. Ant produces output for each target entered, which results in a large list of target names being printed, also the unless or if matched. Using antcall does not help, as the context is changed and dependencies have to be redone for each sub target. Hence, it would be nice to have something like <antcall .. newcontext="no"/> to stay in the same context. This also includes the inheritXYZ="yes". .sz
