http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18732 ANT parameter passing has some bugs! Summary: ANT parameter passing has some bugs! Product: Ant Version: 1.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I set my ANT_OPTS='-propertyfile ant.properties'. ANT does not recognize the comand-line parameter -propertyfile. This is an obvious bug. I suggest that ANT should always accept an optional default property file (possibly ant.properties). ANT should optionally accept also accept ALL command-line parameters on the property file. The ANT_OPTS is difficult to change and manipulate. Also, ANT should accept macro expressions in its property file. It does not accept such expression now. For instance it should accept such thing as: root.path=${basedir}/sources Regards, Colbert Philippe
