http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8988 global property inside a target ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-05-11 14:16 ------- I think the functionality would be nice (ie, being able to pass values back) but I hate the proposed means. I would suggest a different way of specifying it. <ant ......> <returns property='subProjectProperty'/> <returns prefix='propSet.'/> </ant> Same for <antcall>. Here the caller expresses which properties from the subproject it wants to be passed back into its own properties. The prefix attribute allows returning all properties with a particular pattern. Maybe we should allow an optional "as" attribute: <returns property='subProjectProperty' as='mypropname'/> which would allow you to rename the property on the way back (in case you use the same <ant(call)> several times. Implementation wise these would only affect <ant>/<antcall> no need to touch anything else. I could prototype the change and submit it for consideration if there is a glimer of hope on being accepted :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
