http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22690 Inheritance of nested <reference> in <ant> broken Summary: Inheritance of nested <reference> in <ant> broken Product: Ant Version: 1.5.3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Seems like the imutability rules of nested <reference> elements in the <ant> task does not work like they should (and are documented to work). From the documentation of the <ant> task: Nested <reference> elements can also be used to copy references from the calling project to the new project, optionally under a different id. References taken from nested elements will override existing references in the new project. But given the two files pathref_1/2 (see below) we get: C:\Work\View\example\src>c:\Tools\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\bin\ant -v -f pathref_1.xml Apache Ant version 1.5.3 compiled on April 16 2003 Buildfile: pathref_1.xml Detected Java version: 1.4 in: C:\Tools\j2sdk1.4.1_03\jre Detected OS: Windows XP parsing buildfile pathref_1.xml with URI = file:C:/Work/View/example/src/pathref _1.xml Project base dir set to: C:\Work\View\example\src Build sequence for target `pathref_2' is [init, pathref_2] Complete build sequence is [init, pathref_2] init: [echo] Path = C:\Work\View\example\src\monkey pathref_2: [ant] calling target [default] in build file C:\Work\View\example\src\path ref_2.xml parsing buildfile C:\Work\View\example\src\pathref_2.xml with URI = file:C:/Work /View/example/src/pathref_2.xml Project base dir set to: C:\Work\View\example\src Build sequence for target `init' is [init] Complete build sequence is [init] init: Overriding previous definition of reference to path.id [echo] Path = C:\Work\View\example\src\business BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 second So, references taken from nested elements will _not_ override existing references in the new project. Same problem exists in 1.6.alpha from 08/24. pathref_1.xml: <project name="pathref_1" default="pathref_2"> <target name="init"> <path id="path.id"> <pathelement location="monkey"/> </path> <property name="path.property" refid="path.id"/> <echo message="Path = ${path.property}"/> </target> <target name="pathref_2" depends="init"> <ant antfile="pathref_2.xml" inheritall="false" inheritrefs="false"> <reference refid="path.id"/> </ant> </target> </project> pathref_2.xml: <project name="pathref_2" default="init"> <target name="init"> <path id="path.id"> <pathelement location="business"/> </path> <property name="path.property" refid="path.id"/> <echo message="Path = ${path.property}"/> </target> </project> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
