As Antoine answered, this is by design, and consistent with the basedir that defaults to "." when not specified in the build file. I was in fact surprised when someone patched <subant> to add the genericantfile option. In your case, since <subant genericantfile> does not what you want, you have several options: 1) Make your genericantfile build do everything relative to a given property (for example top.dir), and pass that property to <subant> explicitly. 2) Create tiny build files in each dir, which import your generic ant file, and <subant> these normally. 3) Use a combination of Ant-Contrib's <for> and <ant> which allows you more control over the basedir. Last, I guess one could imagine adding a <mapper> element to <subant> to map from the dir recursed into to the basedir to use, but what you want to do is such a corner case IMHO, and can be worked around easily enough already, that it's not really warranted and would complexify <subant> needlessly, no? --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
