Sure. > I've tried this a few ways, even explicitly forcing inheritAll to "true" > even though it defaults to that, but it doesn't seem to work. inheritAll is for properties only, not references. use inheritRefs or a nested <reference>. You could also consider putting common definitions into a build file, for example common.xml, and <import> it into your various builds. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
