I have multiple build.xml files that each import a common.xml file.

I also have a productbuild.xml file that imports the common.xml file and makes antcalls on sets of build.xml files.

When I run my individual module build.xml everything works fine.

When I run my productbuild.xml file that makes antcall's to each build.xml I see the following error:

Warning: Reference ivy.instance has not been set at runtime, but was found during build file parsing, attempting to resolve. Future versions of Ant may support
referencing ids defined in non-executed targets.

Each build.xml will call the following macrodef regardless of whether the build.xml file is executed standalone or from an antcall from the productbuild.xml

        <macrodef name="ivy-init">
                <attribute name="ivy.file"/>
                <attribute name="ivy.lib.dir"/>
                <sequential>
                        <ivy:resolve file="@{ivy.file}"/>
<ivy:retrieve pattern="@{ivy.lib.dir}/[conf]/ [artifact]-[revision].[ext]" symlink="true"/>
                </sequential>
  </macrodef>

Since my ivy setting file doesn't change I make this call once in my initialization target.

<target name="common-init">
....
<ivy:settings id="ivy.instance" file="${ivy.settings.file}" override="true"/>
</target>


Since we have a large project I have it so my common-init target is called once when the product build.xml is started and then the build.xmls are smart enough not to call it again. But if I'm just running my build.xml standalone then the build.xml knows to call common-init target.

Here's the full ant log with verbose calling a build.xml file from the productbuild.xml via an antcall
