# Interface SubBuildListener

All Superinterfaces:
  `BuildListener`, `java.util.EventListener`

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `AntClassLoader`, `AntClassLoader2`, `AntClassLoader5`, `BigProjectLogger`, `Recorder`, `RecorderEntry`, `SplitClassLoader`

    public interface SubBuildListener
    extends BuildListener

Instances of classes that implement this interface can register to be also notified when things happened during a subbuild.

A subbuild is a separate project instance created by the `<ant>` task family. These project instances will never fire the buildStarted and buildFinished events, but they will fire subBuildStarted/ and subBuildFinished. The main project instance - the one created by running Ant in the first place - will never invoke one of the methods of this interface.

Since:
  Ant 1.6.2

- ## Method Details

  - ### subBuildStarted

    void subBuildStarted​(BuildEvent event)
    Signals that a subbuild has started. This event is fired before any targets have started.
    Parameters:
      `event` - An event with any relevant extra information. Must not be `null`.

  - ### subBuildFinished

    void subBuildFinished​(BuildEvent event)
    Signals that the last target has finished. This event will still be fired if an error occurred during the build.
    Parameters:
      `event` - An event with any relevant extra information. Must not be `null`.
