I was thinking along the lines of 3, but it remains a nasty work around. And you're really pushing the issue a level down, meaning that once setting this enforcebasedir="true" attribute, which affects the next level of <subant>, you must use it at all levels. The 'real' solution I can think of with my limited understanding of the issue would be to not use a user-defined property to override basedir in Ant (and thus SubAnt), because it propagates to all child levels, but another new mechanism that only affects the next level. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
