:It should be noted, however, that Ant's depends attribute only specifies the order in which targets should be executed - it does not affect whether the target that specifies the dependency(s) gets executed if the dependent target(s) did not (need to) run.
::'''NOTE'''==Some Tips to remember==: In Cygwin in the ''build'' folder. Just typing <code>ant</code>, will build the default target of the project. But typing <code>ant assign1.test</code> for example, will start from mentioned target. ::Also, option -f will build any files that's not named ''build.xml'' e.g. <code>ant -f buildHudson.xml</code>
