| <title>Bindtargets Task</title> |

| <h2><a name="ant">Bindtargets</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| |
| <p>Make some target the extension of some defined |
| <a href="../targets.html#extension-points">extension point</a>. It will make the |
| list of targets dependencies of the extension point.</p> |
| |
| <p>This target is useful when you want to have a target participate to another |
| build workflow, build workflow which explicitly expose an extension point for |
| that kind of insertion. But the target to bind and the extension point to |
| bind to are both declared in some imported build files. Modifying directly the |
| target dependency graph of these external build files may have a side effect |
| on some other project which import them. This task helps then to modify the |
| target dependencies but only in your context. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Note: this task is quite equivalent to the definition of an intermediate |
| target which will be the bridge between the target to bind and the extension |
| point. For instance: |
| </p> |
| <blockquote><pre><bindtargets targets="jar,javadoc" extensionPoint="dist" /></pre></blockquote> |
| is quite equivalent to: |
| <blockquote><pre><target name="bind-to-dist" depends="jar,javadoc" extensionOf="dist" /></pre></blockquote> |
| <p> |
| This task basically avoid the creation of a target. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The bindtargets task may only be used as a top-level task. This means that |
| it may not be used in a target. This is making the target dependency graph static |
| and predictable as soon as every build file is loaded.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Since Apache Ant 1.8.2</b></p> |
