I came from the users point of view. More exactly while writing access code
inside a script task.
<macrodef>
<attribute>
<sequential>
<script>
HERE PLAYS THE MUSIC :-)
</script>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
And the question was: how can I access the attribute-value? If you write
inside a target that would be
value = project.getProperty(name);
But not here. So development / copying the code from somewhere else /
refactor that code out would be
more diffult.
Difficult but not impossible:
value = "${value}";
would do that (or the other bracket type).
But the textual expansion has another disadvantage:
if (parameter == "${name}") set-default-for-parameter;
You canīt do that ... (mmh maybe nevertheless, not enought thought about
that).
So the workaround would be splitting the string "${name}" to "${na"+"me}".
All can be done. But not in a nice and uniform way.
Thatīs why I prefer local properties.
