I have a problem w/ ant and subant that does not involve basedir being set ; in smartfrog.org CVS for people who are curious, but I havent checked this stuff fully in yet because it doesnt work.
Directory core/ at the base of things
<target name="diag2" depends="init" > <ant dir="${components.project}" target="diag2" inheritAll="false" /> </target>
And if I declare a macro around subant that lets me switch between that and ant:
<macrodef name="forward2">
<attribute name="dir" />
<attribute name="target" />
<attribute name="inheritAll" default="false" />
<sequential>
<subant
antfile="build.xml"
target="@{target}" inheritAll="@{inheritAll}"
inheritrefs="false">
<buildpathelement location="@{dir}"/>
</subant>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
</target> <target name="diag2" depends="init" >
<forward2 dir="${components.project}" target="diag2" />
</target>Then everything works as expected. So something in <ant> freezes too much state for subant to make head or tail of.
I am switching to my macro as we speak. I also note that <presetdef> and <macrodef> definitions are fixed once declared, so you have to use new names if you do things with different meanings. This makes sense, but it did just catch me out. It does mean that "use unique macro/preset def names for project-private definitions" should go in the style guide.
