## Interface SubBuildListener

- All Superinterfaces:
    BuildListener, java.util.EventListener
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    AntClassLoader, AntClassLoader2, AntClassLoader5, BigProjectLogger, Recorder, RecorderEntry, SplitClassLoader

      public interface SubBuildListener
      extends BuildListener

  Instances of classes that implement this interface can register to be also notified when things happened during a subbuild.

  A subbuild is a separate project instance created by the `<ant>` task family. These project instances will never fire the buildStarted and buildFinished events, but they will fire subBuildStarted/ and subBuildFinished. The main project instance - the one created by running Ant in the first place - will never invoke one of the methods of this interface.

  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### subBuildStarted

          void subBuildStarted(BuildEvent event)

      Signals that a subbuild has started. This event is fired before any targets have started.
      Parameters:
        `event` - An event with any relevant extra information. Must not be `null`.

    - #### subBuildFinished

          void subBuildFinished(BuildEvent event)

      Signals that the last target has finished. This event will still be fired if an error occurred during the build.
      Parameters:
        `event` - An event with any relevant extra information. Must not be `null`.
