Ant build scripts, antcall, dependencies, etc

Question

I have a build script and as part of that script it copies a jar file to a directory, for ease lets call it the utils jar. the utils jar is built by another build script sittin

Answer 1

Try using the "ant" task instead of the "antcall" task, which runs the imported build directly instead of importing it into the current build file. It has a "dir" parameter:

the directory to use as a basedir for the new Ant project. Defaults to the current project's basedir, unless inheritall has been set to false, in which case it doesn't have a default value. This will override the basedir setting of the called project.

So you could do:

or something like that.
