I did a bit of experimenting with this, and it does seem to be an Eclipse issue. It looks to me like it's a problem with the Eclipse Ant editor trying to resolve the filename without first resolving properties in the filename. If so, that would explain why your work-around works.
Rhino, have you tried running your build file from command-line Ant, or only from within Eclipse? HTH, Kajsa Anderson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
