An other thing to specify with before is its position relatively to the dependencies of the 'extended' taget.
Do we place the before really just before the target itself, or before the dependencies of the target? The second aproach is currently possible from the script that want to extend an imported script: <target name="pre-foo"> </target> <target name="foo" depends="pre-foo , imported.foo"/> The first aproach requires that the imported script has anticipated te need : <target name="just-before-foo"/> <target name="foo" depends="foo-depends,just-before-foo"/> -- Gilles Scokart
