Intermodule dependency in ant

Question

I am using Ant 1.8

I have multiple modules in intelliJ IDEA. Each module has a build.xml and currently i need to browse till build.xml of that file and run ant for e

Answer 1

The subant task in ANT is the most flexible way to invoke a multi-module build, for example:

Project structure

|-- build.xml
|-- moduleA
|   `-- build.xml
`-- moduleB
    `-- build.xml

Note:

In my opinion the most powerful way to use this task is to combine it with the buildlist task from Apache ivy. Let the ivy inter-module dependency declarations automatically determine the module build order.
