Still struggling with Ant & properties ... Now I came across a problem with ant subprojects: By default, when you launch a subproject, all the properties defined in the parent project override the subproject properties. But if I define in the parent project a property called src.dir, and in the subproject a property with the same name, they may not have the same value, so you need to keep the subproject value when running it from the parent project. I added a patch to Ant.java, so now you have a property called properties where you can explicitely give the list of properties to use from the parent project. By default, you still have the old behavior of using all properties from the parent project.
You can download the new Ant.java file from http://www.ringsys.co.uk/opensource/Ant.java And the diff is http://www.ringsys.co.uk/opensource/Ant.java.diff Ludovic Claude.
