Now a little more complex - but useful - scenario. Assume that we have + a directory structure like this:

+ 
+        root
+          |  common.xml
+          |  build.xml
+          |
+          +-- modules
+                +-- modA
+                |     +-- src
+                +-- modB
+                      +-- src
+
+        common.xml:

+        <project>
+            <property name="src.dir"      value="src"/>
+            <property name="build.dir"    value="build"/>
+            <property name="classes.dir"  value="${build.dir}/classes"/>
+
+            <target name="compile">
+                <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
+                <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}"/>
+            </target>
+
+            <!-- more targets -->
+        </project>
+
+        build.xml:

+        <project>
+
+            <macrodef name="iterate">
+                <attribute name="target"/>
+                <sequential>
+                    <subant target="@{target}">
+                        <fileset dir="modules" includes="*/build.xml"/>
+                    </subant>
+                </sequential>
+            </macrodef>
+
+
+            <target name="compile">
+                <iterate target="compile"/>
+            </target>
+
+            <!-- more targets -->
+        </project>
+
+        modules/modA/build.xml:

+        <project name="modA">
+            <import file="../../common.xml"/>
+        </project>
+
+ +

This results in very small buildfiles in the modules, maintainable + buildfile (common.xml) and a clear project structure. Additionally + the root buildfile is capable to run the whole build over all + modules. +
