http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20867 The possibility of getting properties from ant scripts Summary: The possibility of getting properties from ant scripts Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently I can load properties via eg. <property/> or <loadproperties/> and this is good. Now, I have several projects that depend on each other in much sophisticated way that could <ant/> task to resolve. I put as many properties to external files as possible and I load them into via appriopriate task into ant scripts where necessary, but still I have to play with some properties in each build script. Let's say I want to include current velocity jar into each project---if there's newer version of it, I have to change every build file to point to correct file. Well, you can say I could have one properties file with all the paths and load it, but since I have different machines, I would like to spare myself the nescessity of setting absolute paths. Instead I rather set $VELOCITY_HOME and change it when new velocity appears, but using env variables is not possible in properties files, and again: loading just the current jar name and joining it within an ant script currently forces me to do it in every build.xml file. So it would be great to have something, that have the possibility of setting props like now, use $ references to names, and that would allow include those properties in running script---this is exactly inversely to what <ant/> task does (in the meaning of passing properties). I've looked at the faq and documentation, but I haven't found anything like that---if this actually IS implemented, then please let me know.
