http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26844 Add Parameter attribute which would allow the parameter to be mutable Summary: Add Parameter attribute which would allow the parameter to be mutable Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be extremely helpful if the parameter task contained an optional attribute which would turn the parameter into a mutable parameter. I realize that for backwards compatibility that the attribute should be optional and default to false, but I cannot tell you how many times this problem has caused me to go through additional efforts to come up with a workaround. If the parameter was mutable then when calling subtasks, if inheritAll="true", the subtask should be be working with a reference to the original parameter or the parameter value should be copied back to the calling task upon completion of the subtask call. An example of how it might look would be the following: <parameter name="myparam" value="true" mutable="true"/> By allowing it to be optionally mutable, I could later us a condition to call a subtask which would modify the attribute if needed: <condition property="myparam"> <equals arg1="${param1}" arg2="${param2}/> </condition> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
