'In "Ant in Anger," Mr. Loughran suggests that...you should define init targets [TW: targets that set up global build properties], and then use the <antcall> task to execute them. This obviously worked in a previous version on Ant, but in the current releases, any properties set in a target that is executed via <antcall> will be visible only inside the target that is being called with <antcall>.' (TW: quote edited slightly so it makes sense out-of-context)

you're providing them some Ant "methods" into which they can pass "parameters".

have the specified build file assemble the fileset, run the tests and create the report. I can provide tasks that do the last two. Then the caller just has to create a fileset and call the other two tasks. I'll try this approach and see where it gets me.

Paul,
LoadProperties loads from a property file. I don't understand how this relates to the team_test.xml you described.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
