I am attempting to make use of the property deferencing trick described in
"Java Development with Ant", and am seeing something odd. Here's a short
example:
<project name="test" basedir=".">
<tstamp>
<format property="${ant.project.name}.STARTTIME" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy
hh:mm aa"
id="ts"/>
</tstamp>
<property name="project.ts" refid="ts"/>
<echo message="${project.ts}"/>
</project>
produces the following output with ant 1.6.5:
Buildfile: build.xml
[echo] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
I realize that 'id' is not listed as an attribute for the format element, I
just tried it to see if it
might work. I would have expected an error rather than what I got.
So, that said, anyone have a mean with ant along to set the tstamp property
based on some other
property and then be able to access it ? Thanks!
