This is incorrect, at least with my version. It will attempt to find a build.xml in all the directories, and FAIL if one cannot be found. To achieve what you describe, use a fileset:
<subant target=""> <property name="build.dir" value="subant1.build"/> <property name="not.overloaded" value="not.overloaded"/> <fileset dir="." includes="*/build.xml"/> </subant> I understand you had failonerror="true", but then a build failure in any of the build actually found would be ignored, so it's not a good example IMHO.
