http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28127 <parallel> documentation does not describe effects on target dependencies Summary: <parallel> documentation does not describe effects on target dependencies Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <parallel> building is quite a tricky concept even if you have done loads of multi-threaded programming. I have been using the <parallel> building options and have already stumbled into quite a few problems/issues. One thing that is really unclear in the documentation is the effect of <parallel> on target dependencies. Consider the following: <target name="subtask1" depends="subtask2,subtask3,subtask4"> .... do some stuff ... </target> <target name="maintask"> <parallel> <antcall target="subtask1" inheritall="true"/> </parallel> </task> I know that parallel continues until it reaches a <sequential> block but what on earth is the effect on the dependencies, will they be run as parallel blocks???? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
