I've inherited a VERY complex ant-based build that is currently running on 1.6.0RC1, and I'm in the process of upgrading ANT to 1.7.1.
I've run into some curious behavior that looks like a bug in 1.6, that does not occur in 1.7.1, and the build scripts seem to depend on this anomalous behavior. Specifically, it looks like <ant> and <antcall> targets are behaving in 1.6.0RC1 as if inheritRefs="true" was specified even though it is omitted. I looked for bugs related to inheritRefs but didn't find anything. Does anybody know if this was a problem in 1.6.0RC1?
