AFAIK, no, there's no way to do that. <import> includes the file "as is" (except that you need a <project> declaration in the ant file). If you call ant files via <ant>, there is a way: by default, <ant> is called with inheritall="true" (meaning, all properties defined in the calling file are defined in the callee) and inheritrefs="false" (meaning, all references are not inherited, such as <fileset id="whatever">, and that includes macros). I haven't tested either whether macro definitions can be overriden (either within a task or within a file). -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
