See http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27118 . In an example here, a.xml: <project name="a"> <selector id="sel"> <filename name="**/*.txt" /> </selector> </project> b.xml: <project name="b"> <import file="a.xml" /> <!-- Here you want to redefine "sel", incorporating its current definition, whatever that may be. How do you do it? --> </project> In the commented zone above, the following creates a circular reference: <selector id="sel"> <and> <selector refid="sel" /> <contains text="foo" /> </and> </selector> This doesn't yield the desired result either: <selector id="_sel"> <and> <selector refid="sel" /> <contains text="foo" /> </and> </selector> <selector id="sel" refid="_sel" /> You should still get a circular reference because of the way references are resolved. The only way is: <copyref refid="sel" to="a.sel" /> <!-- yes, I changed the name --> <selector id="sel"> <and> <selector refid="a.sel" /> <contains text="foo" /> </and> </selector> Is there another way, without code (I know, code is not necessarily the most evil thing in the world...)? -Matt > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
