Another non committer here. I don't like $(x) because it looks too much like ${x}, although I suppose I could get used to that. Therfore, I am drawn to @{x}. ${attribute:x} is possible but way too much typing for my taste. Abbreviated to ${att:x} or ${attrib:x} my negativity level goes down accordingly.
Before "voting", though, could someone list all the conflicting usages with other systems that ant must interface with. -----Original Message----- From: peter reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 12:10 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: [VOTE] macrodef - do attributes as properties or substitutions OK, how do we want to implement <macrodef> attributes: current [ ] as textual substitution ~ 4 [ ] as "real" Ant properties ~ 2 undecided ~ 1 If macrodef attribute are to be implements as substitutions, what should be the notation?
