So, to use an abbreviated example, I can get most of the execution order specified with the following declarations: <target name="deploy-using-copy" depends="target-1,target-copy-2,target-3">...</target> <target name="deploy-using-link" depends="target-1,target-link-2,target-3">...</target> <target name="target-copy-2" depends=target-1">...</target> <target name="target-link-2" depends="target-1">...</target> but then how do I set up the depends for target-3? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/factoring-out-commonality-in-sequences-of-tasks-tp24155135p24157115.html Sent from the Ant - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
