Hi all, Thanks for ur prompt reply. There was a mention about targets in ANT manual. "It should be noted, however, that Ant's depends attribute only specifies the order in which targets should be executed - it does not affect whether the target that specifies the dependency(s) gets executed if the dependent target(s) did not (need to) run."
if my target A fails, target B wud have to fail if it depends on A. but above statement looks contradictory !! How does the dependency taken care by "MAKE" is done here in ANT ?

If you add a 'description' attribute to your tasks they will appear in the Main section (however, tasks without a description will not be shown). E.g.: <task name="foo" description="bar"/> Cheers, Steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
