first of all thanks for the information I tried to load antx libraries and it did worked, BUT while calculating the duration its giving me an error as :
Unable to convert 'now' to time duration. compile took -now Here is my code: <target name="usage" description="Displays a list of valid targets"> <assign var="time" value="now"/> <copyproperty name="usage.start" variable="time" transform="datetime"/> <echo level="info" message="usage started ${usage.start}"/> <antcall target="usage:default"/> <assign var="time" value="now"/> <copyproperty name="compile.duration" variable="time" transform="duration"/> <echo level="info" message="compile took ${compile.duration}"/> </target> Is there any thing I have missed.
