building tasks from other tasks

[Nathan Coast <na...@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm working on a taskdef which consists of a number of existing tasks and some 
new code.  I could make a new taskdef just for the new code and achieve the 
'macro' task by a combination of tasks in build.xml.  However, I'd prefer to 
create a taskdef that performs the whole task.

Is it possible to call the code within one task from another, or am I going to 
have to copy the relevant code from each of the subtasks into the code for the 
macro task.

FYI, what I'm attempting is a task that performs a number of cvs tasks in one 
go.  Specifically a 'noexec update' followed by parsing the output of the update 
command to decide which files require merge / addition / checkin.

Cheers
Nathan
