RE: 'ant' task not overriding basedir (Ant 1.5.1)

[Dominique Devienne]

Look at the doc for Ant 1.5.x for , and the table explaining which dir
is used to build based on various things. I myself avoid the 'dir' attribute
of , so that the 'basedir' of the sub-build file applies. --DD

Well, this might not be entirely accurate.  I changed the 'basedir' property
in the sub-project to the sub-directory in which I want it to build and it
still is building from the top of the project tree.  In fact, the only way I
can get it to build in a sub-directory is to change to that directory and
use the -f parameter.  Can anyone offer any insight on building sub-projects
in a different directory other than the current?

I'm attempting to invoke a sub-project from my main ant build.xml using the
task 'ant'.  Both build files reside in the same directory at the top of my
project tree.  However, I am attempting to build the sub-project from a
different directory further down in the tree by setting the 'dir' attribute
in hopes it would override the 'basedir' of the sub-project's build.xml.
This is not working.  It continues to build from the top of the project
tree.  Any insight as to why this is not working is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
