Description bbll 2013-08-03 06:35:11 UTC 
See title. Simple as that.

Create new Java project, add an ANT task to build.xml
(of course after <import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>):

<target name="-pre-init">
    <echo>I'm never going to be called</echo>
</target>

Not working.

Besides that, no documentation, no FAQ entry ragarding custom tasks for ANT projects. At least it's so burried away that after an hour I still can't find it. Either way, something has to be fixed here, code or user friendliness.

Thank you.

Have to correct myself, I'm talking about a NetBeans Module project.
