Hi Steve,
I tried to use "Variables" Task in ant-contrib, but it replicate the
same result as Dick did.
My build.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="build" basedir="." default="test">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
<target name="test">
<script language="javascript">
<![CDATA[
project = self.getProject();
echo = project.createTask("echo");
variable = project.createTask("var");
variable.setName("theVal");
variable.setValue("foo");
variable.execute();
echo.setMessage(project.getProperty("theVal"));
echo.perform();
echoval.execute();
variable.setName("theVal");
variable.setValue("bar");
variable.execute();
echo.setMessage(project.getProperty("theVal"));
echo.perform();
echoval.execute();
]]>
</script>
</target>
<target name="echoval">
<echo>${theVal}</echo>
</target>
</project>
The Result is:
c:\>ant -v
Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004

Complete build sequence is [test, echoval, ]
test:
[echo] foo

Why ?
What's wrong with my description about "Variable" task ?
Any comments will be very appreciated.
