reg. target dependency

[shreedhar natarajan <sh...@ami.com>]

Hi all, 

Thanks for ur prompt reply. There was a mention about targets in ANT manual. "It should be noted, however, that Ant's depends attribute only specifies the order in which targets should be executed - it does not affect whether the target that specifies the dependency(s) gets executed if the dependent target(s) did not (need to) run."

if my target A fails, target B wud have to fail if it depends on A. but above statement looks contradictory !! 

How does the dependency taken care by "MAKE" is done here in ANT ?

Best rgds

If you add a 'description' attribute to your tasks they will appear in the
Main section (however, tasks without a description will not be shown).

E.g.:

  <task name="foo" description="bar"/>

Cheers, Steve.
