This example is quite similar to what you want to do. It offers the user a
choice of where to upload some files; the user can choose server Alpha as
the target of the upload, or server Beta, or both.
The upload target depends on the getserver task so the getserver task
executes first. The getserver task asks the user which target(s) the user
wants and sets the value of the property 'servername' accordingly. Then,
the antcall task within the upload target executes the appropriate target:
upload-Alpha, upload-Beta, or upload-Both. To keep the example simple, the
upload-Alpha and upload-Beta targets only display a short message to prove
that they have been invoked but you could have many complex tasks within
each of those targets. The upload-Both target is even simpler; it uses a
depends parameter to invoke upload-Alpha and upload-Beta.
