http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32006 new optional 'basedir' attribute for property task Summary: new optional 'basedir' attribute for property task Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I propose adding a new optional 'basedir' attribute to the property task. This attribute could be use in conjunction with the 'location' attribute to specify the base directory to use when resolving relative locations (overriding the default of using the project basedir). For example: <property name="myPath" location="xml/foo.xml" basedir="C:/projects/otherProject" /> would set myPath to "C:/projects/otherProject/xml/foo.xml" And, similar to the current behavior, if the specified location is already absolute, basedir would be ignored, e.g.: <property name="myPath" location="C:/foo.xml" basedir="C:/projects/otherProject" /> would set myPath to "C:/foo.xml". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
