Description

Currently it is not possible to use AntBuilder to declare targets without invoking them.
When antBuilder.target(..)

{...}

is invoked, the target is executed immediately.
This also makes difficult to declare targets complex with dependencies.

It would be great if antBuilder.target

{..}

only created target without invoking it.
Then it would be possible to invoke target after all configuration is done.

I am still interested in resolving this issue. It seems more convenient to follow Ant behavior and not to execute a target when it is declared.

If the user simply wants to execute set of Ant tasks, he will not need a target. If he needs a target, he 100% does not need to execute it immediately - the user wants to define a graph of targets first.
