Hi Ant Users, I would like to change the value of a task attribute on the fly, without editing Ant xml file, by setting a runtime system property like this:
junit.showoutput=true --> get junit to show test output by default java.fork=true --> fork by default etc. While this can be implemented for an individual task, I believe that it should be done in core Ant, so that it works for all tasks without extra work for task developers. Do Ant Users feel this would be useful to have in core Ant? Has anyone asked for this? Is there an extension mechanism in Ant that can be used to do this? Is there a property-to-xml convention that would take care of the nested elements?
