No.

Properties are immutable!

Subject: Reset an existing property


 Hello Ant-User.

 One, I hope, simple question.

 Is it possible to reset an existing property,
 something like

 property name=dir.src value=./src/
 property name=dirty.src value=d:\CVS\/
 property name=dir.src value=${dirty.src}/

 The sample is simplify, but it is enough to describe
 what I want.


 TIA
 JD

No need to fear it.   Property immutability is one of the features that
makes Ant flexible and powerful, believe it or not.  I'm sure if you posed
your scenario to the list that someone could help you resolve it within the
confines of Ant's property rules.

Here is an alternative :

property name=dir.src value=./src/
property name=dirty.src value=d:\CVS\/

available file=. property=dir.src value=${dirty.src}/

Note: available task must be enclosed in some target

I thought this reassignment of properties was going away, or otherwise found 
to be undesirable?  This is related to my newbie-if-then-else thread.  Am I 
seeing where this is becoming more of a needed feature?

Re: Reset an existing property

2001-12-04 Thread Erik Hatcher 

This is now deprecated behavior though.  Properties *should* be immutable
and things have tightened up quite a bit with it in the nightly builds
recently, although this particular hole is still open yet a deprecation
warning will be output when overriding a property using available
