Hi all,
I was reading the feature request document for ant2. In the section,
"III. Things that are simple, easy to implement, where we expect the committers
to agree". It has the following statement:
* make properties fully dynamic, i.e. allow their value to be reassigned
[will need more discussion because of vote by Glenn McAllister and Conor
MacNeill]
[finally ACCEPTED]
If I understand this correctly. You mean that if I add the following to my
build.xml file:
<project ... >
<target name="foo" depends="foo_properties,common" />
<target name="foo_properties" >
<property name="common.property" value="foo_property" />
</target>
<target name="bar" depends="bar_properties,common" />
<target name="bar_properties" >
<property name="common.property" value="bar_property" />
</target>
<target name="common" if="common.property" >
<echo message="commom.property=${common.property}" />
</target>
</project>
And I run the command:
ant foo bar
I would get:
common.property=foo_property
common.property=bar_property
Is this correct or am I dreaming?
I know that with ant 1.3 and 1.4 I get the following:
common.property=foo_property
common.property=foo_property
thanks,
