AW: How to get list of build files that will be executed for Ant build

Hacking is always ... surprising ;) as you use APIs in way they weren't intended for.
But it makes fun :O

I am not sure if you can get these information during runtime.
But collecting during a build and analyzing afterwards could be possible using a custom BuildListener.
With that you get all meessages and could filter ...

How could a build be invoked? <ant>, <subant>, <exec>, <java>, <script>, <macrodef> wrapping these, custom tasks ...
Many possibilities.
