You could make all the targets independent and specify a blank delimited

Hmmm, a basic tenet of Prolog is that the rules do not have any side

there are many side effects in creating, modifying, and copying/moving

The following reg ex should work for you:

You will need to adjust it so it works in by adding

Ant is a declarative language, not a procedural language. As such you can

Why don't you use the ant way and make jar depend on update?
If you use the antcall then a new scope is created and the properties in the
new scope are not seen in the calling scope.
If you make jar depend on update then you can just run "ant jar" and the
update target will be fired then the jar

Both the fileset and dirtasks sections of the manual have some discussion

If you use name="**/*" it would mean that you want all files in all

To get a little better understanding of what is happening in your particular
