Thanks again Dominique. I'll also try this and see which is best among
your 2 propositions.
I'm also tempted to rewrite my build to transform the following:
framework/
|_ src
|_ share-12-13-14
|_ share-13-14
|_ j2ee-12
|_ j2ee-13
|_ j2ee-14
into
framework
|_ share-12-13-14
|_ src
|_ share-13-14
|_ src
|_ j2ee-12
|_ src
|_ j2ee-13
|_ src
|_ j2ee-14
|_ src
each share* and h2ee* directories corresponding to different build.xml
With this solution, there is no need to do "if" to build each project.
Combined with Ant 1.6 import/macrodef/presetDef the individual build.xml
should also be quite empty.
Any take on this?
Thanks
