See 3rd entry in http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#sysprops It allows you to change the way (like the order or parallelism) targets are executed, to be parallel for example (here's one Google found for http://code.google.com/p/parallel-ant/source/browse/trunk/src/java/org/codeaholics/tools/build/pant/ParallelExecutor.java?r=5). It dependencies are stated correctly, a target shouldn't care which order its dependencies are executed in, as long as they are satisfied. I remember another executor that generated a "virtual" target than depends on all targets on the CLI to avoid running their dependencies multiple times for example. > Unrelated: Reading the "targets" docs page just now told me of a new feature > called "extension points", which sounds valuable.

There's no implicit parallelism in stock Ant, so they won't step on each other's toes. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
