Your problem is related to your usage of antcall. If you changed the "init" task to depend="init-debug,init-release" etc. you problem would dissapear. Basically the antcall is establishing a new scope which is why you properties are not visible. /Steve. _____

The enclosed file(s) demonstrate an error, is this by design or a bug in ant? If initialized as shown in my build file, target "init" the property file is not visible outside of the target from which it is loaded, if initialized as shown in my build file, targets "init2" or "init3" the property file is visible globally. - George Lawrence Storm, - Senior Macintosh Software Developer - DivX, Inc.
