While implementing the ParallelExecutor in the sandbox I got reaction in that case. http://marc.info/?l=ant-user&m=119797310406425&w=2 Basically order does matter (at the moment). But this was the basic idea of that executor: start all targets from the depends clause in parallel and start executing the current target if all finished without failure. But someone pointed out (http://marc.info/?l=ant-user&m=119797614510909&w=2) that the manual itself gives that hint: http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#targets "It should be noted, however, that Ant's depends attribute only specifies the order in which targets should be executed - it does not affect whether the target that specifies the dependency(s) gets executed if the dependent target(s) did not (need to) run. Ant tries to execute the targets in the depends attribute in the order they appear (from left to right). Keep in mind that it is possible that a target can get executed earlier when an earlier target depends on it." The need of clarification was said in http://marc.info/?l=ant-user&m=119797869814067&w=2 Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
