It is possible to instruct make to run all the targets that directly or 
indirectly do not depend on failed targets. This feature is very useful in 
automatic builds and testing, because it allows detecting as many problems as 
possible instead of stopping on the first problem. 

This is a sample code that I used in Project.executeTarget() to achieve this 
functionality. In the real code a command line option needs to be added and 
BuildException has to be extended to report several build errors.

==========================
Project.executeTarget()
==========================

    public void executeTarget(String targetName) throws BuildException {

        // sanity check ourselves, if we've been asked to build nothing
        // then we should complain

        if (targetName == null) {
            String msg = "No target specified";
            throw new BuildException(msg);
        }

        // Sort the dependency tree, and run everything from the
        // beginning until we hit our targetName.
        // Sorting checks if all the targets (and dependencies)
        // exist, and if there is any cycle in the dependency
        // graph.
        Vector sortedTargets = topoSort(targetName, targets);
        Set executed=new HashSet();
        BuildException buildException=null;

        for (Enumeration iter=sortedTargets.elements(); 
iter.hasMoreElements();) {
            Target curtarget = (Target) iter.nextElement();
            boolean canExecute=true;
            for (Enumeration dep_iter=curtarget.getDependencies(); 
dep_iter.hasMoreElements();) {
              String dependencyName=((String)dep_iter.nextElement());
              if (!executed.contains(dependencyName)) {
                canExecute=false;
                log(curtarget, "Cannot execute '"+curtarget.getName()+"' - 
'"+dependencyName+"' was not executed.", MSG_ERR);
              }
            }
            if (canExecute) {
              try {
                curtarget.performTasks();
                executed.add(curtarget.getName());
              }
              catch (BuildException ex) {
                log(curtarget, "Target '"+curtarget.getName()+"' failed.", 
MSG_ERR);
                if (buildException==null) {
                  buildException=ex;
                }
                else {
                  log(curtarget, "Extra error: "+ex.getMessage(), MSG_ERR);
                }
              }
            }
            if (curtarget.getName().equals(targetName)) // very strange exit 
condition
              break;
        }
        if (buildException!=null)
          throw buildException;
    }
