Does the Ant task use the same environment as its parent, or does it
make a copy?
In the project I'm currently working on, it would be useful to be able
to have several build.xml's reference a single build.xml thru the Ant
task in order to set up the build environment, and check for necessary
files, etc. However, when I create a scenario like this, I find that
the environment changes accomplished in the sub-call aren't propagated
to the environment at large. Is it possible to set a flag to save these
changes? If not, would it be feasible to change the Ant taskdef to do
this? I think I know how to do so, and don't mind volunteering my time
to get this functionality.
What would you advise?
Thanks in advance,
John Casey
