I'm trying to update our build procedures using some of the guidelines in http://www.1060.org/blogxter/resources/5/ant-1.7.pdf They claim that an imported file is added to the *end* of the importing file. That would suggest to me that top-level tasks in the imported file would get executed *after* the top-level tasks in the importing file.
For instance: Importing.xml: <project name="importing" default="noop"> <import file="imported.xml"/> <echo>Importing</echo> <target name="noop" /> </project> Imported.xml: <project name="imported" default="noop2"> <echo>Imported</echo> <target name="noop2" /> </project> I would *expect* (but not desire) the result to be: Importing Imported In fact, the result is: Imported Importing That's absolutely what I want, in fact - because the files I want to import will be defining tasks, setting properties etc. However, I'd really like to know that the behaviour is going to stay the same, *and* in what way "imports are imported to the tail". On a side-note - it's nice to be back on the list :) Jon Clearswift monitors, controls and protects all its messaging traffic in compliance with its corporate email policy using Clearswift products.
