Hi Peter,
Not sure why your original snippet did not work; it should.
You're declaring a variable -- so you should use $var:
not $ref: (variables and references are distinct).
To define a string as a reference, use the scope='project'
attribute of the <assign/> component as in:
<oja:assign var="arefid" value="Hello" scope="project"/>
<echo message="MYID: ${$ref:myrefid}"/>
I've attached an example snippet file that shows both uses
(run it from $ANTXTRAS_HOME/etc using 'ant -f assign-example.xml')

Hello!
I've got a problem with variables in the following snippet:
<xtras:assign var="test" value="dummy"/>
<echo message="TEST = ${$var:test}"/>
Results in:
[echo] TEST = ${$var:test}
Seems, the reference to the variable is incorrect.
Using antxtras_3.0.0b1-build1083.45 and ant-1.8.1.
What's wrong???
Kind regards
Peter
