Individual access to target components

[Jonathan Hayward <jh...@teleformix.com>]

Suppose I have something like the following build.xml:

<project name="foo" default="bar" basedir=".">
    <task name="bar">
        <javac .../>
        <rmic .../>
        <jar .../>
        <signjar .../>
    </task>
</project>

Is there any way to type something like "ant bar -subtask javac" to run
only the javac component of the bar task?

Nope it kinda of goes against the philosophy of ant (tasks are meant to be
atomic bits of work). So to get what you want you would need to do

<project name="foo" default="bar" basedir=".">
    <task name="bar">
        <javac .../>
    </task>

    <task name="bar1" depends="bar">
        <rmic .../>
    </task>

    <task name="bar2" depends="bar1">
        <jar .../>
    </task>

    <task name="bar3" depends="bar2">
        <signjar .../>
    </task>
</project>

and then go "ant bar"
