Hello,
I am trying to get into orgainizing my nant files more.
I have a central nant file that all our projects should share.
Is it viable to use an empty shell file (possibly with do-nothing targets that the projects fill out) and have it include the core targets?
How is the syntax?
I just took the whole XML content to the external file, and did remove project tag.
The new build file tries to include this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="build" >
<include buildfile="n:\.dev\deployed\.buildscripts\default.build" />
</project>
Sadly I get an exception?
