http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40523 Summary: Ant does not read -D properties same way as Java Product: Ant Version: 1.6.5 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the following trivial build.xml. <project name="test"> <echo message="param is ${param}"/> </project> I am trying to pass "foo=bar" as param value ant -Dparam="foo=bar" Unexpectedly, I get: Buildfile: build.xml [echo] param is foo BUILD FAILED Target `bar' does not exist in this project. The same happens if I try to pass param="foo;bar". I tried the same with a trivial java program, and it works as expected (param is foo=bar). -------------------- I posted this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and got this reply. From: Alexey Solofnenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please file a bug. I think the current logic was created to work around problems on some weird platforms (VMS?) and it does not work reasonable on "normal" systems. - Alexey. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
