Testing Framework: How to test properties of child projects?

[Craeg K. Strong]

I recently coded up and submitted a patch to the <ant> task that affects
how properties are passed to a child project.
I did test the patch, but it would be nice to include such tests in the 
automated
test suite that Nico Seessle and others have worked on.

The problem is this:  once I create a subproject by calling <ant>, how 
on earth
can I get my hands on it in the testing framework?

I want to do something like this (simplified example):
// inheritAll = true, parent property should be inherited
public void test7() {
 executeTarget("test7");
 assertEquals("parent-wins", newProject.getProperty("test");
}
// inheritAll = false, parent property should NOT be inherited
public void test8() {
 executeTarget("test8");
 assertEquals("child-wins", newProject.getProperty("test");
}
Where parent buildfile =
<target name="test7">
 <property name="test" value="parent-wins"/>
 <ant
  antfile = "child.xml"
  inheritAll = "true"/>
</target>
<target name="test8">
 <property name="test" value="parent-wins"/>
  <ant
  antfile = "child.xml"
 inheritAll = "false"/>
</target>
and Child buildfile =
<target name="default">
 <property name="test" value="child-wins"/>
</target>
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?    Thanks in advance!!!
