Could you post the complete Ant script? How are you invoking the script and the target(s)?
I noticed if you invoke ant with both targetA and targetB, then targetA would be called multiple times. However if you invoke ant with targetC (below) then targetA is invoked once. <target name="targetC" depends="targetA, targetB"> <echo>in targetC</echo> </target> --glenn On Nov 12, 2007 11:32 AM, broken connection <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Friends, > As far as I knew, if we have "depends" in the target then that target > would run only once.
