http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34823 Summary: Expand property values ${foo} in <description> Product: Ant Version: 1.6.3 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This Ant code: <project name="common" default="usage" basedir=".."> <property name="pkg" value="common"/> <description> Build script for the com.spandex.xyz.${pkg} package </description> does not substitute "common" in the <description> text (it leaves ${pkg} there). Of course this would be even better: <property name="pkg" value="common"/> <project name="${pkg}" default="usage" basedir=".."> <description> Build script for the com.spandex.xyz.${pkg} package </description> And using <property file="..."> would be logical too.
