I can't remember the specific reasons why that won't expand...but I've had that issue in the past. What I've done is to create a deref macrodef for that purpose. Here is a fix (not sure its what you want):
<project name="Application Deployment" default="task" basedir="."> <macrodef name="deref"> <attribute name="property"/> <attribute name="value"/> <sequential> <property name="@{property}" value="${@{value}}"/> </sequential> </macrodef> <property file="build.properties"/> <target name="task"> <echo>${env}</echo> <deref property="myProperty" value="${env}.test"/> <echo>${myProperty}</echo> </target> </project> When I run using the same build.properties, I get this:
ant -Denv=IT1
task: [echo] IT1 [echo] testest1 BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 second HTH, Flossy On Thu, 15 Dec 2011, Vinodh Kumar wrote:
