The "ant" way is not to think in terms of calling targets,
it is more in-terms of invoking a target, and the
target reads it's dependences.
In ant 1.6 the unit of reuse/encapsulation/block would be a macro.
I would use a macro instead of each of your pmd targets, and
call them directly from the pmd target.
...
However with <antcontrib> the runtarget does not
set up a new ant project context, so the properties
set in them are visible afterwards, so there
must be something else wrong with your script.
For example:
<project default="abc" xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<target name="abc">
<ac:runtarget target="runme"/>
<echo>${set_in_runme}</echo>
</target>
<target name="runme">
<property name="set_in_runme" value="hello world"/>
</target>
</project>
Buildfile: /work/reilly/learning/a/runtarget/build.xml
abc:
runme:
[echo] hello world
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
