| valid characters for target names | valid characters for target names 2005-06-10 - By Eric Tchepannou
Hi,
I will personally not use spaces, but I can remember a couple of times
where I have used dots (.) in my target names.
May be from the command line you may have to run your target like this:
ant -f <build_file> "install server" (I have never tested this, but it
could work)

Please avoid using these, as they will not be supported in future Ant versions
because of all the confusion they cause. IDE support of unusual target names,
or any target name containing spaces, varies with the IDE."
