Having multiple build files a couple of years ago, I now prefer more single build files. But I have noticed that a my preference started by having ant macros in place. So it is very easy to have short and clean single build files and macros doing most of the magic part. Just as you often tried to solve with multiple build files. Ok, macros could be seen also as build file but much more easier to maintain in my opinion because these are more general. My five cents, Michael I really made the same experience.
