The nested tasks are simply executed in sequence. Sequential's primary use is to support the sequential execution of a subset of tasks within the <a href="parallel.html">parallel</a> task</p> <p>The sequential task has no attributes and does not support any nested elements apart from Ant tasks. Any valid Ant task may be embedded within the sequential task.</p> <h3>Example</h3> <pre> <parallel> <wlrun ... > <sequential> <sleep seconds="30"/> <junit ... > <wlstop/> </sequential> </parallel> </pre> <p>This example shows how the sequential task is used to execute three tasks in sequence, while another task is being executed in a separate thread. </p> <hr> <p align="center">Copyright © 2001-2002 Apache Software Foundation.
