nesting tasks within apply (or something similar)

[Matt Coarr <mc...@mitre.org>]

Hello,

Is it possible to nest task invocations inside of a "apply" task?  Or 
maybe nesting "java" task calls?

I guess I'm looking for something roughly equivalent to a for each 
looping construct construct that can invoke other tasks.  Something 
roughly akin to how JSP taglibs tags can nest?

Regards,
Matt

Not directly.  <apply> is simply an iteration over <exec> essentially. 
Its just for launching command-line tools - but you could launch java or 
ant itself (I assume) if you make the right incantation.
