Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the file attribute on property
had to point to a java property file, which doesn't use xml syntax. The ant
docs say:
By setting the file attribute with the filename of the property file to
load. This property file has the format as defined by the file used in the
class java.util.Properties.
I assume by the .xml extension on your file that these are other ant
buildfiles?

Subject: Including property files
Hi all,
Did a quick search of the archives, but didn't come up with what
I wanted.
I've got a project build file (build.xml) that includes a
platform specific file (windows_env.xml or unix_env.xml)
depending on the platform.
Within the *_env.xml files is a
<property file="user_env.xml" />
So users can just modify one file and the rest can stay
in CVS unchanged. The local file has things like the
source and deployment roots, etc, etc.
The user_env.xml file doesn't seem to be included/parsed as
ant -v doesn't show anything particularly interesting, and
the <echo message="${user.foo}" /> displays ${user.foo} and
gives a nice error message in ant -v.
Help !
Cheers,
-- jon
