Hi all, I am kind of novice in ant.
I have a difficulty to find out how to specify the “location” attribute of a property when I define it in a property file. For example, suppose the current ${basedir} is equal to “c:\projectname\app” and I define this property in the build.xml (located at ${basedir} of course): <property name="project.dir" location="${basedir}/.." /> This property definition resolves correctly to the path of the parent folder of the current ant build file. That is, to “c:\projectname”. If I try to move this property definition to a property file I would write: Project.dir=${basedir}/.. However, this does not resolve to what I want as it resolves to: “c:\projectname\app/..” This means that the property definitions in the property file are understood as a “value” attribute of a property definition and not a “location” attribute. Does any one know how to solve this issue?
