committers,
okay well the change i have made is very limited and does allow the subproject
spawned by the ant task to set its parent's patternsets. since patternsets are
just one of the 'references' kept i have restricted the pass thru to just allow
patternsets. In the Ant.java immediately after
// set user-define properties
Hashtable prop1 = project.getProperties();
e = prop1.keys();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String arg = (String) e.nextElement();
String value = (String) prop1.get(arg);
p1.setProperty(arg, value);
}
i added this piece
/*
* set user-define patternsets
* patternset is _one_ of the object types held as references
*/
Hashtable refs1 = project.getReferences();
e = refs1.keys();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String arg = (String) e.nextElement();
Object value = (Object) refs1.get(arg);
if (value.getClass().getName().indexOf("PatternSet")!=-1) {
p1.addReference(arg, value);
}
}
hope this makes the grade !
rgds, tim
