[Webtest] Accessing a variable created in a previous project

[Michael Knapp]

Paul, I'm a bit of a newb....

In making the separate targets, do I do so outside of the target they
are currently in, or can they be nested?

Also, should I replace the current antWrapper with the antcall i.e., in
the same place the antWrapper steps are currently?

It also occurred to  me that using a script block (like a <groovy> step)
might be the way to go, but the groovy examples I've found have been
fairly inpenetrable....
