Hello ! I am building automated test scripts using ANT. I have a directory hierarchy which contains a driver ANT script. In a particular target, I need to look into all the subdirectories looking for build.xml files and run them with default targets. I know how to get all the build.xml scripts, like < include name="**/build.xml"/> < /fileset> But how do I iterate through this list getting the directory for each and run ant script there. Any suggestions, code examples are greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance, -- Murali    More>>

/fileset>



But how do I iterate through this list
getting the directory for each and run ant script there.

Any suggestions, code examples are greatly appreciated.
