http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8972 allow property expansion in <filterset> property values Summary: allow property expansion in <filterset> property values Product: Ant Version: 1.5Beta1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i currently have one set of properties for my build system, and these are loaded using <property file="xxx.properties"/>. they contain embedded references to other properties using ${} syntax. this works fine in general use in my build file, however, when i want to use these same properties for a filtercopy, the ${} variables are not expanded in the output files. i can't do a <replace> since i may not know which properties were used as @name@ tokens in the file, and i don't want to hardcode the list of properties to replace. i don't see how the <expandproperties> feature of <filterchain> of 1.5 helps me in this case, so i would request that the ability be added to the <filterset> and the <replace> task to expand the values of properties contained in the property files they load. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
