Hi Antoine. Thanks for your reply. I was thinking about using the ant-contrib library, however i wanted to keep it to either core tasks or ones that I have control over (my own custom tasks). > If there is a limitative list of jar files that you may want to create in > your build, you can also make normal ant targets for each of a, b, c and > d.jar and create properties such as a.jar.desired, b.jar.desired, > c.jar.desired, d.jar.desired in your property file Unfortunately, this is something i must avoid. Since i won't know until runtime what jar files are to be created. > > Is it legal to call the Java API "execute()" method on a standard task > > from within a custom task? > > > Yes this is legal > grep in ant for getProject().createTask() to see how this is done Great.
