> Antcall is evil: http://www.build-doctor.com/2008/03/13/antcall-is-evil/
> We'd better use macrodef and let Ant build a clean dependency graph.
> http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/macrodef.html
> Right now we do like this:
> {code}
> <target name="buildAllJars">
>   <antcall target="buildJar">
>     <param name="build.dir" value="jar-A"/>
>   </antcall>
>   <antcall target="buildJar">
>     <param name="build.dir" value="jar-B"/>
>   </antcall>
>   <antcall target="buildJar">
>     <param name="build.dir" value="jar-C"/>
>   </antcall>
> </target>
> <target name="buildJar">
>   <jar destfile="target/${build.dir}.jar" basedir="${build.dir}/classfiles"/>
> </target>
> {code}
> But it would be better if we did like this:
> {code}
> <target name="buildAllJars">
>   <buildJar build.dir="jar-A"/>
>   <buildJar build.dir="jar-B"/>
>   <buildJar build.dir="jar-C"/>
> </target>
> <macrodef name="buildJar">
>   <attribute name="build.dir"/>
>   <jar destfile="target/${build.dir}.jar" basedir="${build.dir}/classfiles"/>
> </macrodef>
> {code}
