I think it is the same effect. If you do that, then if execute in parent
directory, the child does know the parent. However, I dont think you can do
it in the child directory.

In parent.xml, could you do <property name="parentdir"
location="${basedir}"/> and then pass parentdir along when you call
child.xml?

All,
Thanks for the replies.
Let me try again. When you execute parent/build.xml, lets say the
pwd is "/home/code/src/server" but when you execute child/build.xml,
the pwd becomes "/home/code/src/server/child".
How can I pass the exact unchanged path /home/code/src/server into
child/build.xml?
Thanks
Barry
