including build.xml files

[Johannes Zellner <jo...@zellner.org>]

Hi,

is it possible to include another build.xml file ?
(E.g. including a build.xml files which holds a few task
which are common to all my projects)

You can use <ant> task to call targets from other xml files. I have a
master xml file which controls a project and each particular aspect of
the project is managed by an other xml file, which keeps xml files in
managable sizes. Currently I'm trying to create a lord-of-all type of
xml file to call my project xml's but I have some classpath issues. 

I think as long as you use the same classpath for all your projects, you
won't hit any particular problems.

It is not possible to include another build file but it is possible to 
include a snippet of a build file. Please refer to the Ant FAQ, 
especially this entry

http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/faq.html#xml-entity-include
