## org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs
Class Sequential

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
          org.apache.tools.ant.Task
              org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Sequential

All Implemented Interfaces:
  TaskContainer

public class Sequential
extends Task
implements TaskContainer

Sequential is a container task - it can contain other Ant tasks. The nested tasks are simply executed in sequence. Sequential's primary use is to support the sequential execution of a subset of tasks within the `Parallel Task`

The sequential task has no attributes and does not support any nested elements apart from Ant tasks. Any valid Ant task may be embedded within the sequential task.

Since:
  Ant 1.4
