Hello,

Scenario: Ant 1.8.0 on WinXP

is there a way to avoid escaping chars by propertyfile task?

The following task

<propertyfile file="myFile.properties">
        <entry  key="MY_URL" value="http://mydomain/"/>
</propertyfile>

produces the following file

MY_URL=http\://mydomain/

that is bad.
This is not bad, this is the convention for java property files which ant is following.
I know there are other solutions, like echoing a new property file
(but I have a lot of other properties inside the file that I don't
have to change, and I would like not to list them just because of the
new file creation) and/or using the simple replace task (but I should
know the original value of the property to indicate the token, and I
don't know it).

Any suggestion?
I think using concat you could do what you want. You want to concatenate the old (or template) property file together with the other properties that you are
generating on the fly.
Thanks a lot
