The way you are trying to do it is not possible. What you probably would
want to do is either generate the project.properties file before using
it. For instance you could have a target that creates project.properties
before reading it... but most likely what you want to do is generate the
abilities property dynamically like so:
mysymbols.properties:
extra-abilities=DUMP_DOCDESC=off (etc...)
project.properties:
default-abilities=JSR179=1.0,WMA=2.0,JSR75=1.0,ScreenHeight=416,CLDC=1.1
,NOKIAUI=1.0,OBEX=1.0,MMAPI=1.0,JSR184=1.0,JSR172=1.0,ScreenWidth=352,Sc
reenColorDepth=12,MIDP=2.0,ColorScreen,JSR82=1.0
Build.xml
...
<target name="-init">
<property file="mysymbols.properties"/>
<property name="abilities"
value="${extra-abilities},${default-abilities}"/>
...
</target>
...

Subject: property files
Hello,
is it possible to execute a an ant-task inside of a property file? I'm
using
netbeans mobility, and I want to define some abilities in a separate
file
and someone source it into variables. There is a file called;
C:\myprojects\projectXYZ\nbproject\project.properties
and inside of it there are a bunch of properties for the project.
abilities=DUMP_DOCDESC=off,JSR179=1.0,WMA=2.0,JSR75=1.0,ScreenHeight=416
,CLDC=1.1,NOKIAUI=1.0,OBEX=1.0,MMAPI=1.0,JSR184=1.0,JSR172=1.0,ScreenWid
th=352,ScreenColorDepth=12,MIDP=2.0,ColorScreen,JSR82=1.0
build.classes.dir=${build.dir}/compiled
build.classes.excludes=**/*.java,**/*.form,**/*.class,**/.nbintdb,**/*.m
vd,**/*.wsclient
build.dir=build/${config.active}
build.root.dir=build
etc....
I want to someone replace;
abilities=DUMP_DOCDESC=off,JSR179=1.0,WMA=2.0,JSR75=1.0,ScreenHeight=416
,CLDC=1.1,NOKIAUI=1.0,OBEX=1.0,MMAPI=1.0,JSR184=1.0,JSR172=1.0,ScreenWid
th=352,ScreenColorDepth=12,MIDP=2.0,ColorScreen,JSR82=1.0
with
abilities=<property
file="mysymbols.properties"/>,JSR179=1.0,WMA=2.0,JSR75=1.0,ScreenHeight=
416,CLDC=1.1,NOKIAUI=1.0,OBEX=1.0,MMAPI=1.0,JSR184=1.0,JSR172=1.0,Screen
Width=352,ScreenColorDepth=12,MIDP=2.0,ColorScreen,JSR82=1.0
is this possible?
