The sub-task (build.xml) can write a property file (<echo
file="tmp.properties" message="key=value"/>)
wich the super-task (ci-build.xml) can read AFTER calling.
ci-build.xml
<property name="tmp.file" value="tmp.properties"/>
<ant target="xy">
<property name="tmp.file" value="${tmp.file}" />
</ant>
<property file="${tmp.file}" />
<echo>SubTask has set ${result}</echo>
build.xml
<target name="xy">
<echo file="${tmp.file}" message="result=42" />
</target>

Betreff: RE: passing of properties from a child ant task to its parent
If you are using <antcall> the answer is no.
Targets executed via <antcall> have their own environment
and property space and anything modified or set is NOT
passed backed or returned to the "calling" target.
I have seen <propertyfile> used to write out the updated
values of properties and then when execution is returned
to the calling target it opens the property file and reads
the updated and new values.

Subject: passing of properties from a child ant task to its parent
Hi,
I have 2 differnt build files -- one is a general one
(build.xml) and the other is used by CruiseControl
(ci-buld.xml). The ci-build.xml mainly uses the
build.xml file with <ant> calls. This works fine but
now I have the following situation. The targets to run
junit tests are in build.xml. They are set to create a
propery (junit.failure, junit.error) if a failure or
error occurs. This happens in the bounds of the
build.xml. When I test with <fail if="junit.error"
message="error"/> in the ci-build.xml it is not set,
though an error has happened. My question is, are
created properties from the child ant task being
passed back to the parent task???
Thanks,
Ralph
