Mmh - you know the Wiki?
http://wiki.apache.org/ant/AntOddities
"Leveraging Ant" in the manual - could be an idea. A kind of samples for
little more complex tasks?
Suggestions?
The example for <antcall>:
<project default="dispatch">
<!-- Dispatch according to a property value -->
<target name="dispatch">
<!-- check for valid property values for nicer error handling -->
<!-- but it´s not needed :)
<fail message="Unsupported value">
<condition>
<not>
<or>
<equals arg1="${nr}" arg2="1"/>
<equals arg1="${nr}" arg2="2"/>
</or>
</not>
</condition>
</fail>
-->
<antcall target="dispatch_${nr}"/>
</target>
<target name="dispatch_1">
<echo>target number one</echo>
</target>
<target name="dispatch_2">
<echo>target number two</echo>
</target>
</project>
