Sounds very very good. The light of the 1.6 release seems to come closer to the horizon.
Cheers from Walldorf, Antoine -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Peter Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 3. Dezember 2003 14:37 An: Ant Developers List; Ant Users List Betreff: Macrodef @{x} I have committed the changes to change from ${x} to @{x} for macro attributes substitution. Usage of macrodef is now as follows: <macrodef name="example"> <attribute name="x"/> <sequential> <echo>The attribute has the value '@{x}'</echo> </sequential> </macrodef> This can be called as follows: <example x="a value"/> The escape sequence @@{ may be used to escape the substitution: <macrodef name="example"> <attribute name="x"/> <sequential> <echo>The attribute @@{x} has the value '@{x}'</echo> </sequential> </macrodef> <example x="a value"/> Will result in: [echo] The attribute @{x} has the value 'a value' The mechanisms for substition are different for properties and macrodef attributes so one may now do the following: <macrodef name="double"> <attribute name="prop"/> <sequential> <echo>@@{prop} is '@{prop}', value of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'</echo> </sequential> </macrodef> <property name="property" value="A property value"/> <double prop="property"/> resulting in: [echo] @{prop} is 'property', value of ${property} is 'A property value' These changes will be available for the next ant 1.6 beta build.
