Re: Wisdom of using ":" in property name

This is getting rather frustrating. I was going to use "_" (the underscore) until someone sent me a note saying that AntContrib doesn't like properties with that in its name (especially with its foreach task). To be honest I don't care to relay on AntContrib but sometimes really is a life-saver.

Re: Wisdom of using ":" in property name

This pretty much confirms that I shouldn't be using ":" in my property names. (If I once knew that ":" could be used in property files, I don't remember it.) Thanks, Rich On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 10:41 AM, Stephen Connolly < stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > Damn you Peter, you beat me to

Wisdom of using ":" in property name
