nested targets and calling a target from a command line?
Hi everyone.. as I told you the questions are not
finished yet :-)
This time a come with 2 more... :-P
Is there a chance to nest targets, I mean, can I
have a main target and inside of it, keep 3, 4 or n
targets??? this guide us to the next question..... is
it possible to call a target from a command line??
all this could be more especific with an example.
<target name="main1">
<target name="in1ofmain1">
</target>
<target name="in2ofmain1">
</target>
<target name="in3ofmain1">
</target>
<target name="inNofmain1">
</target>
</target>
<target name="main2" depens="main1">
<target name="in1ofmain2">
</target>
<target name="in2ofmain2">
</target>
<target name="in3ofmain2">
</target>
<target name="inNofmain2">
</target>
</target>
<target name="main3" depens="main2">
<target name="in1ofmain3">
</target>
<target name="in2ofmain3">
</target>
<target name="in3ofmain3">
</target>
<target name="inNofmain3">
</target>
</target>
So, from the command line I would like to call
main2, and the dependency would check which target
goes first
ant -target="main2" -buildfile testtarget.xml
I do not know if is this too crazy, but, is it
possible??
Thanks
VES

Sorry I wasn't clear enough..
The commnand line would be:
ant targetname -buildfile buildtest.xml
(compile was just the name of my target.!)
You can actualy include more than one target name, for options on running
ant from the command line type:
ant -help
:)

Sorry Nico...
I wanted to have targets within targets coz I want
some order in the things I'm doing, not for me, for
the people who is going to receive the xmls, is a way
to make them undestand how the xml is builded.
They don't know xml and Ant, neither do I (at the
begining), but other people has never use and make an
xml.
thas why, I was asking for it.

Sorry, I still do not understand it. You asked about nesting targets inside
targets, some people answered that it's not possible, but they would like to
know why you need such a feature.
Have you found another way without nesting targets inside targets or do you
still think it would be nice to be able to nest targets inside targets?
If so, it would be nice if you tell us what you would like accomplish with
the use of nested targets, so that we can tell you a "workaround", or the
"right way" to do it with Ant.

You can't nest a target within another target, but you could use the
<antcall> task.

Thanks Ylan...
so, the command line will be in as follows...
ant -compile="targetname" -buildfile buildtest.xml
is it correct???
and for the second thing, I asked the nested
targets, because i want to keep an order of modules
I'm using, and also use the dependencies from
principals targets... but as I said, is a little
crazy.
Thanks

In answer to your second queastion.. sure!!!!
You can call a target from the commando prompt:
$> ant compile
(assuming that you have the ant script for your system in the path).
That will run ant and execute the compile target. If that target has any
dependencies it will run those targets first, and if those targets in turn
have dependencies, it will run them also, and so on.
as for setting a target within a target, I don't believe it is possible, but
I also don't see why you need it. Dependencies take care of that, don't
they?
