What I think you are missing is that the XML hierarchy translates into
the name of the property. This is true whether you use Semantic
Attributes or not, since they do not alter the name.
Your XML file actually defines the same property name over and over
again. If keepRoot were set to true, this would be
"properties.property", but since you specify that the root tag should be
ignored, the one property name is named "property".
What your XML should look like to get the results you want is:
<properties>
<dispatcher>
<theme>pelt</theme>
<theme-ext>.fv</theme-ext>
</dispatcher>
</properties>
Leave keepRoot set to false, and you don't need semanticAttributes
unless you prefer using the value attribute instead of the contents of
the tag or if you want to use Ant references inside the configuration file.

Hi all,
we at forrest are in the middle to harmonize the definition of our
properties system and we want to switch to an xml based on
(forrest.properties.xml).
We already use this file in the rest of our application. The format is
as follow:
<properties>
<property name="dispatcher.theme" value="pelt"/>
<property name="dispatcher.theme-ext" value=".fv"/>
</properties>
Doing a change in our core ant build did not brought the expected
result.

The last line is for debugging, but till now I did not get the
properties as I want them.
It will result in something like:
property=pelt,.fv,group,project
property.name=dispatcher.theme,dispatcher.theme-ext,group-name,project-name
However regarding
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/xmlproperty.html if I enable
semanticAttributes and use the above file slightly alternated:
<properties>
<!--
# codename: Dispatcher
# Dispatcher is using a fallback mechanism for theming.
# You can configure the theme name and its extension here
-->
<property id="dispatcher.theme" value="pelt"/>
<property id="dispatcher.theme-ext" value=".fv"/>
...
I expected to find
dispatcher.theme=pelt
but i now only get:
property=pelt,.fv,group,project
My question is, is this a bug or have I overlooked something?
