I'm +1 to put the concept in Ant's core, marked as experimental. A question that I have is how deep we want to push this concept?
A first level would be that a phase or a target-group is a "normal" tartget for which the depends is build based on the other target that are found. (with that view, I wonder by the way what motivate the fact that the phase have no tasks). A second level (maybe I go too far) might be to put it deeper up to the event notification. A build that use phase might have phaseStarted and phaseFinished event sent around targetStarted and targetFinished. 2008/11/11 Stefan Bodewig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > EasyAnt has a concept named "phase" which is some special sort of > target.
