Hi, It occurred to me that the way Ant reads property files in imported build scripts is not very modular by default. As the manual explains, to read a property file relative to the current script, you must do the following:
<!-- imported.xml --> <project name="imported" basedir="." default="..."> <dirname property="imported.basedir" file="${ant.file.imported}"/> <property file="${imported.basedir}/imported.properties"/> </project> But on the other hand, the import task itself uses import paths relative to the current build file. I would like to be able to do the same with property files in imported build files, either like this: <import propertyfile="imported.properties"/> Or somewhat more clumsy like this: <property file="imported.properties" scriptrelativepath="true"/> Regards, Sten Rosendahl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Front Capital Systems Sungard Trading Systems --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
