hi, first: i am not subscribed to the list so please use "reply to all" or add my private email addr to the cc list - thx.
i discovered the following interesting behaviour. i do not know whether it is "defined"/expected or a bug so i decided to ask :) i have two build scripts ----- a.xml ----- <project name="a"> <property name="var" value="global"/> <target name="call"> <ant antfile="b.xml" inheritall="false" target="echo"/> </target> <target name="caller"> <antcall target="call"> <param name="var" value="UPS :("/> </antcall> </target> </project> ----- a.xml ----- ----- b.xml ----- <project name="b"> <target name="echo"> <echo message="something to say : ${var}"/> </target> </project> ----- b.xml ----- so know when i call: $ ant -f a.xml call i get the expected result that the ${var} is not evaluated but when i do $ ant -f a.xml caller ${var} evaluates to "UPS :(" is this expected behaviour ? Why ? I thought setting "inheritall=false would not "forward" any property to the new env... thx regards, seb -- "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." --- Antoine de St. Exupery, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
