Class CallTarget

public class CallTarget extends Task

Call another target in the same project.

    <target name="foo">
      <antcall target="bar">
        <param name="property1" value="aaaaa" />
        <param name="foo" value="baz" />
       </antcall>
    </target>

    <target name="bar" depends="init">
      <echo message="prop is ${property1} ${foo}" />
    </target>

This only works as expected if neither property1 nor foo are defined in the project itself.

createParam

public Property createParam()

Create a new Property to pass to the invoked target(s).

Returns: a Property object.

execute

public void execute()

Delegate the work to the ant task instance, after setting it up.

Throws: BuildException on validation failure or if the target didn't execute.

handleErrorFlush

public void handleErrorFlush(String output)

Handle error output. Send it the the new project if is present, otherwise call the super class.

Parameters: output The string to output.

Since: Ant 1.5.2

handleErrorOutput

Handle error output. Send it the the new project if is present, otherwise call the super class.

Parameters: output The string to output.

Since: Ant 1.5

handleFlush

public void handleFlush(String output)

Handles output. Send it the the new project if is present, otherwise call the super class.

Parameters: output The string to output.

Since: Ant 1.5.2

handleInput

public int handleInput(byte[] buffer, int offset, int length)

Handles input. Deleate to the created project, if present, otherwise call the super class.

Parameters: buffer the buffer into which data is to be read. offset the offset into the buffer at which data is stored. length the amount of data to read.

Returns: the number of bytes read.

Throws: IOException if the data cannot be read.
