Thanks, I have created a bunch of targets for PMD that I would like to keep, so the question is how do I call these targets from the "pmd" target while still keeping the conditional clause?
I found that if I use antcall (or runtarget like in the code below), then properties that are set that I want to reference later are unavailable. How do I " ... do pmd stuff" by invoking other targets?
