[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-40?page=comments#action_57565 ]
Kenney Westerhof commented on MANTRUN-40:
-----------------------------------------
It's impossible to propagate all properties to the called ant buildfile, since
only listed properties
are propagated. Most properties are calculated runtime using reflection.
We could make an exception for the <properties> tag for called buildfiles and
iterate over
them, but that doesn't solve it ${project.*} properties.
However, <properties> do work for ant tasks embedded in the pom, so the title
of this issue is not correct.
A nice workaround might be to override the ant task, or to ask the ant folks to
fix
their Ant task so the PropertyHelper linked to the project is also propagated to
the new project instantiated by the Ant task, when inheritAll="true". It should
inherit
ALL properties, wheter they're calculated or not - the script doesn't know
that.. :)

> For example:
> {code}
> <properties>
> <my.property>foo</my.property>
> </properties>
> {code}
> Does *not* get propagate to Ant. While properties defined within the pom
> will resolve, the properties are not available as an Ant property. So from
> antrun:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}"
> inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo"/>
> {code}
> And then the Ant build.xml:
> {code}
> <project>
> <target name="foo">
> <echo>${my.property}</echo>
> </target>
> <project>
> {code}
> The output will be:
> {noformat}
> [echo] ${my.property}
> {noformat}
> Instead of what it *should be*:
> {noformat}
> [echo] foo
> {noformat}
> The workaround is to delegate to a build.xml file with the ant task and
> redefine each property that is needed:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}"
> inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo">
> <property name="my.property" value="${my.property}"/>
> </ant>
> {code}
