Thanks for reformatting the mail.I tried with <update> task. It works better.On Mon, 28 May 2007 19:32:21 -0400 \"Ant Users List\" wroteIt was a bit hard to read your email. Please set your email to sendonly text formated emails to this list. Otherwise, they get munged andit\'s hard to see what you\'re doing. I\'ve reformatted your email belowto help make it clear what you were showing as an example:In your example, you use the \"outofdate\" task to simply call an anttask. Why not use the standard \"uptodate\" task, so you don\'t dependupon the antcontrib target?The main problem is that you call the create-jar task with outofdate,but the create-jar task depends upon the compile task, so that getscalled anyway. I think what you want to do is create only the jars andnot do the compile. (Is this correct?). To do that, remove thedependency on the compile task for the create-jars task.=========From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] com queryTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache. orgDate: Mon, 28 May 2 007 07:50:33 -0400Subject: Re :Re: Building Dependent targetsTo avoid rebuilding of targets if they occur as dependent targetsfor many targets, I tried using task. My requirementis that I am having different targets in all build files for copyingsource, compiling java files, and creating jar files. Each buildfile will be having all the above mentioned targets. After extractingthe source files, it will be checking for the outdated target jarfile. Once it finds that target is outofdate, \"target.old\" propertywill be set and will be proceed with creating jar file. If sourcefiles are uptodate with target file,\"target. old\" will be false andshouldn\'t run target \"compile\" and \"create-jar\".If \"target.old\" is \"false\", though it will not create jar file,it is be still checking each file at the task level. But I wantthe check to be done at target level and proceed with creating jarfile only if \"target.old\" is set. As I am having so many sourcefiles, it is taking lot of t ime for building.Is there any flaws in the below sample build file?Sample build file-includes=\"**/*.*\"/>[...]--David [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
