default build target

[Oliver Ashoff <Ol...@xtramind.com>]

( Subject: 'AW: optional.jar in ant 1.6' deleted. Somewhat confusing ;)

Hello Dan!

Minor slip. I forgot to delete 
  default="copy"

<project name="Deploy and test">
	<description>
		Dan's 1st try @ ant
	</description>  
	<!--set global properties for this ant-->
	<property name="lib" location="lib"/>	
  	<target name="copy">
		<copy file="dan.txt" tofile="mycopy.txt" verbose="true"/>		
	</target>

  	<target name="build" depends="copy">
          <echo message="I am the target 'build' depending on the target 'copy'" />
	</target>

</project>

Then,  
  $> ant 
or
  $> ant build 
or
  $> ant copy
will do it.
You can add '-f build.xml' as further args,
however the target 'build' is the default target
(if there is no default target mentioned in the line '<project ...')
and 'build.xml' is the name of the XML-build-file 
as default.

Now, you are on the right way, ant (are'nt) you!?  ;)
