Hi, Zhao Yun:
Are abuild.xml and bbuild.xml in the same directory?
why not use commandline: ant.bat batch file or ant.sh shell?
Or send us more details about directory structure information.

Subject: why does an ant task not work!
Running "java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile bbuild.xml" command will be ok!
Running "java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile abuild.xml" command will fail if
the the previous command hasn't been ran!
--project a's abuild.xml
<project name="a" default="core" basedir="."/>
<target name="init">
<property name="a.src" ../>
<property name="a.build" ../>
...
</target>
<target name="components" depends="init">
<!-- the following task won't work -->
<ant dir="${b.home}/src" target="core"/>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="components">
<copy ...>
<!-- copy ${b.home}/build/classes directory's *.class to the ${a.build}
directory-->
</copy>
<javac src="${a.src}" dest="${a.build}" classpath="${a.build}"/>
</target>
<target name="core" depends="compile">
</project>
--project b's bbuild.xml
<project name="b" default="core" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<property name="b.classpath" value="../lib/castor.jar:${java.class.path}"/>
...
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<!-- if the core target is called from "abuild.xml"'s components target,
the ant will say that it can't find the classes which is located in
the "castor.jar" jar file -->
<javac classpath=${b.classpath} dest="${b.home}/build/classes" .../>
</target>
<target name="core" depends="compile">
</project>
