Hi, That works but I need to set the property values ( as you can do on the command line with -D) for
<property name="arch" value="jvm"/> <property name="product_number" value="BAD000"/> <property name="product_revision" value="P0"/> so the default values will be overridden( read from product.attributes file). Then I will use the properties in target called prepare-product-info. Was I more clear this time? cheers, //mikael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 18 oktober 2005 13:02 To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: AW: set property values using my own task Where is the problem? <project> <taskdef/> <propertyread/> <target> <echoproperties/> </target> </project> in that order should work.
