It seems that once a property has its value set, it
cannot be set to
a new value subsequently. Is that
right?
I have 2 targets:
<target name="compile">
<property name="extension"
value="java"/>
<javac srcdir="${basedir}"
target="${JAVA_JDK_VERSION}">
&sourcePattern; </javac> </target>
<target name="distribute"
depends="compile">
<property name="extension"
value="class"/>
<copy
todir="${DISTRIBUTE_PLUGIN_CLASSES}">
<fileset dir="${basedir}"> &sourcePattern; </fileset> </copy> </target>
The entity sourcePattern is defined in terms of the
extension property:
<!ENTITY sourcePattern
'
<patternset> <include name="&buildDir;/EventTime.${extension}"/> <include name="&buildDir;/EventOutMail.${extension}"/> </patternset> '> When I do the distribute target, which depends on
compile, it attempts
to copy the *.java and not the *.class versions of
the files.
Is that right? I would have wanted the
"extension" property value
to be reset in each target, but that doesn't appear
to be happening.
The docs are unclear in this case. Is it
meant to be resettable,
or not, and if not, why not. It would
certainly make life easier to
have this abillity.
