Yes, with two "but"s: 1) If you use the default executor. If you don't know what an executor is, you most likely are :) 2) If target1 declared a dependency on target2 or target3, directly or not, they could execute in a different order. Note running "ant t1 t2 t3" is almost equivalent to running "ant t1", "ant t2", "ant t3", in the sense that the dependencies of t1 are executed before t1 itself, then the dependencies of t2 before t2, *as if* t1 hasn't been run before (modulo properties/references set by t1), which means that some dependent targets (e.g. init) may execute several times (unless "protected" from multiple executions by a property). So if target1 depends on target2, order of execution would be target2 (from the target1 dependency), target1, target2 (from the explicit cli invocation), target3. At least that's how I recall this works, but you should double-check it yourself. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
