Hello,
The fact the properties values are not propagated across <antcall> is by
design...
One possible solution would be...
<target name="set_path" depends="determine_location, add_dir_one, add_dir_two"/>
<target name="determine_location">
<available file="../lib" type="dir" property="use_dir_one" />
<available file="../../lib" type="dir" property="use_dir_two" />
</target>
<target name="add_dir_one" if="use_dir_one">
<property name="path_to_lib" location="../lib"/>
</target>
<target name="add_dir_two" if="use_dir_two">
<property name="path_to_lib" location="../../lib"/>
</target>
Now, I don't like this solution but it works.
Later,
Ninju

Subject: Directory question
I'd like to include a lib directory in my classpath. The problem is I
don't know where the lib directory will be. It will either be ../../lib
or ../lib, relative to my current path. Is there a way to set a property
to whichever of those two exists?
For example:
/lib
/foo/build.xml
property would be set to ../lib
/lib
/foo/bar/build.xml
property would be set to ../../lib
Here's my attempt, but it doesn't work because properties set inside
subant tasks aren't set when subant exits.
<target name="findcommon">
<echo>Finding common directory...</echo>
<available file="../../lib" type="dir" property="two_up" />
<antcall target="two" />
<antcall target="one" />
<echo>Path to lib set to: ${path_to_lib}</echo>
</target>
<target name="two" if="two_up">
<echo>Two folders up...</echo>
<property name="path_to_lib" location="../../lib"/>
</target>
<target name="one" unless="two_up">
<echo>One folder up...</echo>
<property name=" path_to_lib" location="../lib"/>
</target-->
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
David Alves
