Hi ,
I used " project.setproperty " as you suggested and I get the
property value only at the default target or the first target am executing
in the project. If I have other targets in the project to be executed, The
property values are not available there . how can i resolve this ?
For clarity, I will type down my build file :
<project default="doNothing" basedir=".">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
<property environment="env" />
<target name="doLog" >
<loadfile property="files" srcFile="RunFile.txt"/>
<foreach target="generateLog"
param="value"
list="${files}"
delimiter="${line.separator}"
parallel="true"/>
<foreach target="generateHtmlReport"
param="value"
list="${files}"
delimiter="${line.separator}"
parallel="true"/>
</target>.....................
The property I set in the java code before running the buildfile is
available only at the target "doLog"(I echoed it to a file) .It is not
available in "generateLog" and "generateHtmlReport" targets .
Please help me .
Thanks
Manju S Viswam

So you want to set some ant properties.
Implement a setter in your RunningAnt . That method can execute Projectīs
setProperty()-Method.
Project.java:
* Sets a property. Any existing property of the same name
* is overwritten, unless it is a user property.
public void setProperty(String name, String value)
For setting targets:
public void setDefaultTarget(String defaultTarget)
public void addTarget(Target target) throws BuildException
public void addTarget(String targetName, Target target) throws
BuildException
