Hi:
i think what Stefan was referring to was to have your task set an ant
property internally. then when your script needs the value from the task,
that value can be referenced as any other ant property would. such as:
in your custom task code:
this.getProject().setProperty("task1.propertyName", valueThatAntNeeds);
in your build.xml:
<task1 ... />
<task2 value="${task1.propertyName}" />
so now ${task1.propertyName} would be set with the value from task1, which
is essentially the getProperty() call that you want.

Subject: RE: Retrieving values from task?
Stefan,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm afraid I was a bit vague. What I'm really after is the ability of the
ant xml script to retrieve a value from the task, rather than the script
setting the property of the task. In other words I need the script to be
able to call some sort of "getProperty()" on a task.
Steve

Make them set a property.
