Hi Erik,
In case it provides any insight, here's a slightly less terse
description of my setup-
For executing ant on a day to day basis, I point ANT_HOME at an
installed 1.4 binary distribution. On my system this resides in:
"~/tools/jakarta-ant-1.4/". For convenience, I also add "$ANT_HOME/bin"
to the end of my $PATH. Incidentaly, to get the "test" or
"run-single-test" targets to execute, I had to place junit.jar in
"$ANT_HOME/lib".
Now, when I'm ready to work on the source distribution of ant, I allow
cvs to create a new directory under my projects folder. This leaves me
with the following directory: "~/projects/jakarta-ant/". The cvs
commands I run, from my projects directory are:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic
login
password: anoncvs
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic
checkout jakarta-ant
When I'm ready to build ant, from its sources, I run:
ant -buildfile ~/projects/jakarta-ant/build.xml
After I've placed my mods in the source tree, I am then able to run the
command I sent you.
I'm sure others have more intelligent setups, but this works pretty well
for me.
Hope its useful,
Levi
FYI; I don't appear to be recieving anything from the ant-dev list.. A
such, I don't know if you're already on track with this... ignore this
message if necessary :)

How are ant-dev folks building Ant and running test cases? I'm
having some
environment issues in trying what Levi has provided.
Here's what I've got:
- Win2k
- c:\jakarta\jakarta-ant - this is where I've checked out
the
ANT_14_BRANCH (is there a different branch I should be using?)
- I've run 'build' successfully.
- I get errors running 'ant' after running the build.
I'm sure my environment variables aren't correct. How do you
configure
your environment to actually run Ant from the "development
environment"
(i.e. directory structure straight from CVS)? Do you set
ANT_HOME? to
where?
Is this an RTFM and I'm just not reading the FM? :) If so,
point me there
gently!
I could certainly just copy the resultant .jar files to my
c:\ant directory,
but that is where I want to keep the release version 1.4 for
primary usage,
but when I'm modifying the source I'd like to keep everything
under my CVS
accessible directory.
Many thanks,
Erik

In case its useful, here's a fledgling unit test for excercising
the
PropertyFile task- You should only need to unzip it onto your
ant source
distribution and invoke it with the commands below.
%ANT_HOME%$ ant run-single-test
-Dtestcase=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFileTest
Presently, it only confirms the tasks ability to update existing
properties, but I have more plans for it in the future.
Eventually, I'll
get ambitious and implement a PropertyFile.load(InputStream)
method that
doesn't ignore comments and whitespace..
Regards,
Levi Cook

Chuck,
This looks and smells just like a bug to me! :) I've tried it
out and
was
not able to use it in the manner you desire (with Ant 1.4).
There have
been no changes in <propertyfile> from 1.3 to 1.4 - so that bug
has been
there for a while.
I'll file it in Bugzilla today, and attempt fixing it and
submitting a
patch. I'm copying ant-dev on this in case there is some known
workaround
and to alert them of the issue.
Erik
