Reactor Task

The reactor task invokes an ant target on the set of project defintions that declare base directories within the basedir of the reactor. This allows for the building of groups of projects based on the directory structure. The sequence of the project build is automatically resolved relative to the dependencies defined by the respective projects.

Normal usage:

    <x:reactor/>

Supplying an explicit build target:

    <x:reactor target="install"/>

Example output when invoking the reactor from the root avalon directory:

default:
[x:reactor] Preparing build sequence.
