Yes I used subant, but as I said, it can't recurse on the current
target.
Since recursion should be a core function of a hierarchical build
system, I think this patch is worth adding to Ant.
First of all your original mail didn't contain the patch itself.
Second you said you used ant-contrib's for and I pointed out that
subant should be enough. The only thing that's missing is a property
that knows the current target, isn't it?
I know we have rejected the idea of such a property in the past, but
we may be at a different point today, so if you open an enhancement
request for such a property (or find the old one and reopen it), that
would e the right place to attach a patch to enable it.
I could imagine a task to set a property to the current target
<location target="targetproperty" buildfile="fileproperty" />
...maybe even something for a complete stack trace/list of imports that
is live
