I have a main build script that calls various targets. One of these targets needs to store a value and another target needs to display it. Obviously this is not working so I think it may be related to scope. I've tried var, property, and declaring the property outside of target1. Since var seems to be mutable, it looks like I need to use it instead, but each time my output is empty.

Main script

<antcall target="target1"/>
<antcall target="display"/>

In target1:

<var name="myVar" value="${anotherVar}"/>

In display:

<echo>${myVar}</echo>
