This is not what I've seen in the past. Properties declared in the
imported build file just worked as expected. Are you sure your
property file is loaded at all?
Yes the properties file is being loaded (just rechecked now). It seems
to be a problem if I reference a property from the common properties
file within the project specific file. Eg
./common/build.properties
...
lib.dir=lib
...
./project.properties
...
ant-contrib.version=1.0b1
ant-contrib.jar=${lib.dir}/commons-and-misc/ant-contrib-${ant-contrib.version}.jar
...
With the same build.xml files
./common/build.xml
...
<!-- global project properties -->
<property file="common/build.properties" />
...
./build.xml
...
<property file="local.properties" />
<import file="common/build.xml" />
...
The output from ./build.xml...
init:
[echo] ${lib.dir}/commons-and-misc/ant-contrib-1.0b1.jar
[echo] com.ftsvn
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource
net/sf/antcontrib/antcontri
b.properties. It could not be found.
I'll try to build a simple couple of test build files to demonstrate the
behaviour in an independent way
Again sorry to bother anyone
