Thats why a patch like this will never get applied ;) In Ant2 we will have some form of cross project dependencies. We will probably have some form of templating that will make this easier. See a mail entitiled "Re: Question about properties and ant2" on 14th of sept from me. It should explain two of the templating options being considered. -- Cheers, Pete ---------------------------------------------------------- Which is worse: Ignorance or Apathy? Who knows?
