Ant [1] allows the definition of targets with dependencies. As an 
example [2], the command `ant all` invokes target name="all", which 
recursively invokes the dependent targets init, jars. etc.

Once you compile and link apple2/vm02.class, I think you can replace the 
remaining build with `ant all` using something like this:

<project name="vm02" default="all" basedir=".">

<property name="relDir" value="../rel1"/>

<target name="init" description="Initialize">
    <mkdir dir="${relDir}"/>
</target>

<target name="apple2" depends="init" description="Package apple2">
    <javac srcdir="apple2" destdir="${relDir}" classpath=".">
        <include name="**/*.java"/>
        <exclude name="CVS/**"/>
    </javac>
</target>

<target name="java" depends="init" description="Package java">
    <javac srcdir="java" destdir="${relDir}" classpath=".">
        <include name="**/*.java"/>
        <exclude name="CVS/**"/>
    </javac>
</target>

<target name="org" depends="init" description="Package org">
    <javac srcdir="java" destdir="${relDir}" classpath=".">
        <include name="**/*.java"/>
        <exclude name="CVS/**"/>
    </javac>
</target>

<target name="samples" depends="init" description="Package samples">
    <javac srcdir="samples" destdir="${relDir}" classpath=".">
        <include name="**/*.java"/>
        <exclude name="CVS/**"/>
    </javac>
</target>

<target name="all" depends="apple2,java,org,samples" description="All">
</target>

<target name="clean" depends="init" description="Clean">
    <delete dir="${relDir}"/>
</target>

</project>
