Or you could do it like this:
<target name="main" depends="init,dev,test,prod" />
<target name="init">
<condition property="dev">
<equals trim="true"
arg1="${build.type}" arg2="dev" />
</condition>
<condition property="test">
<equals trim="true"
arg1="${build.type}" arg2="test" />
</condition>
<condition property="prod">
<equals trim="true"
arg1="${build.type}" arg2="prod" />
</condition>
</target>
<target name="dev" if="dev">
...
</target>
<target name="test" if="test">
...
</target>
<target name="prod" if="prod">
...
</target>
But this is a little longer... :)
