Hey Guys (and gals),
I am having some trouble with trying to use antcall with input tasks.
See attached build file (called whats_up.xml).
The two targets that don't work (realwork1 and realwork2) both use helper targets that use <antcall> tasks to invoke the <input> tasks, while the third target (realwork3) seems to work okay and so that why it think it is related to my usage of <antcall> task and not the <input> task.
The first target (realwork1) asks for the import.user name but is unable to expand its value in the messge for the input password.
The second target (realwork2) asks for the import.user the first time, and asks for it again the second time (due to a intentional typo) even though it should not.
Any ideas as to why the <antcall> invoked input tasks do not seem to honor the property set by previous <antcall> tasks
