Here is the scenario:
I am defining global properties for my project in a separate file, which I
will include in the individual build files using external entities in XML.
I also want to give the flexibility of overriding these values thru'
environment variables.
something like this:
<property environment="env" />
<property name="project.home" value="c:\project"
unless="${env.PROJECT_HOME}" />sorry for not being descriptive enough in the first mail! thanks, vishu > -----Original Message----- > From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 4:30 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Re: setting property > > > Would you mind sharing a bit more of the specific scenario and problem > you're trying to solve with this request?
