The documentation for Subant clearly states...
* if you want to run directory1/mybuild.xml, directory2/mybuild.xml, ...., use the antfile attribute. The subant task does not set the base directory for you in this case, because you can specify it in each build file. However, this does not appear to be the case for me. My structure... Project | |__ Tools | |___tool1 | |___tool2 |__ Server |__ Client I have a master build file in Project that uses the Ant task to call targets in slave build files in the directories below it (tools, server and client). One of these slave build files (Tools) uses Subant to call build files dynamically in directories below it. However, in this scenario the baseDirectory is not set correctly and remains as the Tools directory. This is confirmed by the fact that all runs perfectly well if I run 'ant build' directly from the Tools directory. It's only running it from Project that causes the failure. Does anyone know a workaround to this problem? I'm copying the dev list because I believe this may be a bug. I'd be happy to be proved wrong. alan ======= Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Symyx Technologies, Inc. that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted, privileged and/or protected work product, and is meant solely for the intended recipient.
