RE: visibility of the variable/parameter

[Burgess, Benjamin]

Antcall is a task that is used to call a sub project.  In other words,
what is called using Antcall is a sub process in its own scope and
properties set in that scope do not come back to the calling scope.  You
should see a massive increase in memory as well with ancall as it is
creating a whole new Ant Project in memory.

I think what you should do is:

  <target name="X" depends="callY" />

Subject: visibility of the variable/parameter

Hello Group,

Shown below is the small illustration of something which I am trying to
implement. I am not sure, where/what I am missing.


  <target name="all" depends="X,Y">
  </target>

  <target name="X">
    <antcall target="callY"/>
  </target>

  <target name="callY">
    <condition property="view">
      <equals arg1="0" arg2="0" />
    </condition>
    <echo>value of view is ${view}</echo>   ---> Which shows as true
  </target>

  <target name="Y">
    <echo>value of view is ${view}</echo> -----> value of view is not
set
    <if>
      <equals arg1="${view}" arg2="view"/>
        <then>
          <echo message="view is set"/>
          {I want to perform something over here}
        </then>
      <else>
          <echo message="view is not set"/>
      </else>
    </if>
  </target>

(1) I am not understanding that when target 'Y' is called, why the value
of
view is not visible?? (Is it local to only taget callY)
(2) How shall I implement it so that, I get the value of view in Y. ( I
want
to call target Y only from all and not other target)

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but finally after trying
here
and there i thought of asking.

Thanks in advance,
- Dharmesh Vyas.
