There are many ways to call ant targets. If you stick with using the depends to get a target called, then ant will never duplicate a target. So to get a target to call a then b then c but only run init once, just make this new "big" target depend on a,b,c and it will call each of them in order first before big which will even before that first call init only one time.
<target name="big" depends="a,b,c"/> So you should see: <init> <a> <b> <c> <big> --- Shawn Castrianni -----Original Message----- From: Guy Catz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 2:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Depends="init" problem I have several targets, all depends on init - <target name="a" depends="init"> ... <target name="b" depends="init"> ... <target name="c" depends="init"> ... and of course <target name="init"> ... Now, I also have a target which call a, then b and then c. But when I run that ANT, the output is something like this - running <init> - successful running <a> - successful running <init> - successful running <b> - successful running <init> - successful running <c> - successful which means that Init ran 3 times!! instead of only once. I do I make it to run only once? Please advise.
