Generally when you see ${some.property.name}, it's because the property isn't actually being set... You might try adding an <echo> just after the spot where you think you're setting it, and see what you get.

It failed to find the insert point, because ant looks for ${insert.token} instead of the property value. Is there a work around this? I'm using Ant version 1.6.2 Thanks Daisy integrate_impl: [delete] Deleting: E:\common\test\mod_startWebLogic.cmd [copy] Copying 1 file to E:\common\test [copy] Copying E:\common\test\startWebLogic.cmd to E:\common\test\mod_startWebLogic.cmd [replace] Replacing in E:\common\test\mod_startWebLogic.cmd: ${insert.token} --> [replace] [replace] @rem ===================== [replace] @rem INTEGRATE START [replace] @rem ===================== [replace] [replace] set PRODUCT_HOME=...
