Don't worry about this. It's just IntelliJ which can't deal with it, and it's perfectly valid Ant code. <macrodef> doesn't assign any 'types' to its attributes, it's the tasks used within that convert the string used to whatever type they need. The same attribute can even be interpreted differently by several tasks inside the macro. --DD

Intellij tells me that the @{root} in file="@{root}" on line 4 is not allowed. Does the string value of the param not properly get interpreted as a file? <macrodef name="auto-deploy-web-app"> <attribute name="root"/> <sequential> <dirname property="auto-deploy-app-name" file="@{root}"/> <copy todir="${my.dir.auto-deploy}"> </copy> </sequential> </macrodef>
