All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
public class CallTarget extends Task
Call another target in the same project. 
    <target name="foo">
      <antcall target="bar">
        <param name="property1" value="aaaaa" />
        <param name="foo" value="baz" />
       </antcall>
    </target>

    <target name="bar" depends="init">
      <echo message="prop is ${property1} ${foo}" />
    </target>

This only works as expected if neither property1 nor foo are defined in the project itself.

Since:
Ant 1.2
