Hi, I read the archive about the recursive properties and I am not convinced so i would like to reopen the debate. (Or i may have missed the good mail, if so correct me).
Excuse the long mail, but i prefer explain all my problem. I do the all J2EE project build of my firm, the build process is exactly the same for all the 8 projects on the 3 environnements (execpt properties). So I did build files that accept param and all the param are given in a properties file. Now the dev are finishing and we will include some new environnement like pre-production, production, debugging. We cannot stay any more with one properties file for 1(project/env). We had 24 properties file, now we will have more than 50 (and new projects are comming). Some properties are project and environnement independant, others are project dependant, others are environnement dependant, others are both project and environnement dependant. So if i keep multiple file (one per project/env couple), i have multiple and cross redundancy. And i have no way to define the env properties, after the project properties and after project/env properties as they are mixed and cross defined. (i tried without succes). In this case I do not see what I can do to solve this without recursive properties resolution. What do you mind ? Should I develope with for an ant-contrib task as you reject this for ant2 (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant2/requested-features.html) ?
