Hi.


Properties are always created by <property> underlying logic and only <property>
should be aware of their immutability (not the tasks that make use of it).
<echo> coding would be cleaner if it stored the "unresolved"  message and not
the resolved one (where properties have been replaced by their values). 

I'm using ant-contrib, and the <echo> in the following snippet only echoes the 
value ${current-rdbms-dir} takes on it's first iteraction, while <subant> always
evaluates the property value ... this seems to violate the documented behaviour
for Ant, don't you think? 



  <target name="default">
    <for param="current-rdbms-dir">
      <dirset dir="${user.dir}/${do}/database" includes="*"/>
      <sequential>
        <echo message="${current-rdbms-dir}"/>
        <subant target="${current-rdbms-dir}"/>
      </sequential>
    </for>
  </target>
