You could start all of the other target names with dashes. This makes them impossible to execute on the command line. It's a common tactic to make internal targets start with a dash for this reason. If this is for initialization purposes, you can have non-targeted tasks at the beginning of your Ant build.xml file. All of those tasks will be executed no matter what target is selected. Unfortunately, you can't use the "Ant" or "Antcall" task in this section. These will only be executed if they're inside of an Ant target. Otherwise, you could put these as part of the preliminary stuff and prevent people from executing other tasks directly. If you need to hit a preliminary task, you can make all other tasks in your Antfile depend upon that task. This request is a bit "unusual" because you're basically preventing the developer from using Ant to its fullest. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
