hi, problem is that the <available> task overwrites your property
out.dir, means it's set to /local/tmp first and then overwritten with
/tmp/${user.name}
example =
<available property="out.dir" value="/local/test" type="dir"
file="/local/test" />
<echo>nr.1 $${out.dir} == ${out.dir}</echo>
<available property="out.dir" value="/home/${user.name}" type="dir"
file="/home/${user.name}" />
<echo>nr.2 $${out.dir} == ${out.dir}</echo>
output =
[echo] nr.1 ${out.dir} == /local/test
[available] DEPRECATED - <available> used to override an existing property.
[available] Build file should not reuse the same property name for
different values.
[echo] nr.2 ${out.dir} == /home/gilreb
didn't know that available task behaves against standard ant
conventions (property immutability)
last setting of the property wins, try to use different
propertynames for your available tasks.
didn't you get a similar output "deprecated ...", which ant version
did you use ?
