Given that the properties in ant are immutable, you should have the defaults set in a properties file and override them in your environment. This is opposite of what you describe, where you are attempting to set defaults in your environment and override them with a properties file.
-Rob Anderson -----Original Message----- From: Lenhof,Danny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 10:42 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: setting properties Newbie question: I created an ant wrapper that calls the build.xml. The issue I have is that the build.xml call a user.properties and overrides the values I set for the environment. Each developer has everything mapped to a d: drive, i.e. ant, weblogic, etc. I want it to use my values for my build server. Any help is greatly appreciated. dll This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the person to whom it has been sent, and may contain information that is confidential or legally protected.
