It makes sense Peter. And this already works in Ant, provided we add before/after support to <target>. Q1: Does everyone agree that adding before/after to target to Ant 1.8 is useful and should be done before (in conjunction of) creating generic build files? Q2: Do others feel (like me) that we should also have a mean to override a target's content (task list) while keeping the overridden target's dependency list? Both questions above are independent of using overriding macros... --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
