Re: Need help for ["AntCall" cannot return properties]

[Dale Anson]

I added the AntCallBack and AntFetch tasks from antelope to ant-contrib. 
AntCallBack works like AntCall, but let's you get back some properties, 
and AntFetch does the same thing for the Ant task. You'd need to get 
them out of ant-contrib's cvs, as they are not in the current release. 
Ant-Contrib is at http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net. Alternatively, you 
can download the compiled tasks from the antelope project at 
http://antelope.sourceforge.net. The tasks are identical other than 
package name. Docs are on-line at 
http://antelope.sourceforge.net/manual/bk03.html.

Hi,

Yes, I am new to ANT, may be you all are familiar with this.
By researching from archive emails, I think the statement "AntCall
cannot return properties" is true.
But there must be a way to setup a property to accomplish 
what I need to
do below.

<-- I want to use AntCall to setup a property which based on another
property with various name -->
<AntCall target="input-1"/>
<AntCall target="input-2"/>
<AntCall target="input-3"/>
......
......
<target name="A" if="input-1"
 <property name="small" value="a"/>
</target>
<target name="B" if="input-2"
 <property name="small" value="b"/>
</target>
<target name="C" if="input-3"
 <property name="small" value="c"/>
</target>
Thanks a lot.
Becky
