Hello!
In attempt to compute checksums for all files in a directory I wrote this:
<fileset id="myLibs" dir="${extention}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
.....
<target name="thisTargetName">
<foreach target="computeCheckSum" param="fileToWorkOn"
inheritall="true">
<path>
<fileset refid="myLibs" />
</path>
</foreach>
</target>
....
<target name="computeCheckSum">
<checksum file="${fileToWorkOn}" algorithm="MD5" />
<echo>
Created checksum file for ${fileToWorkOn}.
</echo>
</target>
OK. It's, probably, the worst Ant you ever seen. (BTW, any comments on how
to improve it
are welcome). But it works ... until you ask it to become verbose.
Here what it does:

Looks like it's calling itself via [antcall]. Is suppose to do that when
target is invoked in a loop?
Or I'm doing smth awfully "smart"?
