http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17711 Enable use of properties reference in depends Summary: Enable use of properties reference in depends Product: Ant Version: 1.5.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to be able to get away with something like the following... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <project name="myTest" default="main" basedir="./"> <property name="build.productlist" value="a, b" /> <target name="main" depends="${build.productlist}"> </target> <target name="a"> <echo message="Building Product A"/> </target> <target name="b"> <echo message="Building Product B"/> </target> </project> This will enable me to use an external properties file to determine which products to build, without the need to constantly update my master build.xml. Ant does not seem to support this at the moment.
