Thank you for clearing this up, Jan. Although one would think that the ANT task
should be able to run in a separate process in order to handle such things.
Also thanks for your example code, but I think this short EXEC task is even
simpler:
<exec dir="${ otherBuildFolderPath}" executable="${ant-command}"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="-q"/>
<arg value="clean"/>
<arg value="ear"/>
</exec>
