If so then changing it would be reasonable.
It looks like a bug. I would have the following order of precedence if possible. 1. Properties set in ant task become "User properties" 2. "User Properties" of containing build file copied to new project as "User properties" 3. Regular Properties of containing build file copied to new project Like that ? > Are there workarounds to this?

It would break a bunch of my builds to make them regular properties ;) -- Cheers, Pete ------------------------------------------------- We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. ------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
