Second try, fixed a typo..
Patch contains a solution for nested Properties / Properties
dereferencing with Ant Plugin Flaka (http://code.google.com/p/flaka/)
How do i..
How can I do something like <property name="prop"
value="${${anotherprop}}"/> (double expanding the property)?
Patchfile, see attached file : patchfile.txt
Regards, Gilbert
