(hopefully this should be the final feature vote for 1.6) The local feature allows local properties - properties that are valid only for the enclosing scope.
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23942 This is a useful feature in general and for macrodef in particular. For example the macrodef in Stefan's blog: http://stefanbodewig.blogger.de/20031114 may be implemented by: <macrodef name="check-and-fail"> <attribute name="class"/> <sequential> <local name="it-is-there"/> <available classname="${class}" property="it-is-there"/> <fail unless="it-is-there">Couldn't find ${class}</fail> </sequential> </macrodef> <check-and-fail class="org.example.Foo"/> <check-and-fail class="org.example.Bar"/> Vote: [ ] local for ant 1.6 [ ] wait for ant 1.7 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
