Perhaps we're misunderstanding each other. I know what WebLogic's APP-INF/lib directory is used for. The target that assembles my EAR is defined in the imported "build.xml". I might be able to change that common target, but I have to do it in a way that won't affect other sub-projects that use the same imported build script. I was thinking I could make the common target execute a possibly overridden target, but that seems harder to do than simply have it call a target with an "if" attribute where the value of that is only defined in the subprojects that need to copy jars to APP-INF/lib. Assuming I use that latter strategy, I'm having a little trouble getting it to work. In the subproject's "build.xml", I defined a "fileset" with a particular "id" value, containing the files from that subproject that I want copied into APP-INF/lib. In the imported target, I defined a target with an "if" attribute referencing that same "id" value. Unfortunately, when the target executes, the "if" test apparently fails, because it doesn't execute the conditional target. I don't know whether the value of the "if" attribute can be the value of the "id" attribute on a fileset. > > Subject: How to override targets specified in import file > > Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:58:21 -0700 > > From: dk0...@att.com > > To: user@ant.apache.org > > > > I imagine by now I'm the umpteenth person to ask about something like > > this, but the search patterns to find this don't seem to be that > simple. > > > > I'm working on a small project inside a large EAR.
