and not a blank line. Undefined properties are echoed as literal text, not
skipped.
I'm well aware of that ;-) That's why I wrote "empty", not "not
defined". As in empty string vs null string.
The proper way to output a line separator is by using
<echo>${line.separator}</echo>. That this doesn't work in Maven is a
bug for Maven, not a "feature" of Ant.
AFAIK, *any* task output is prefixed by the task's name. A line
separator is output in my book ;-) I fail to see why it would be good
to make an exception for <echo/> somehow.
Go ahead and fix the "doc" bug if you want. Strictly speaking this is
in keeping with BC; but this is yet another one of these little quirks
Ant is full of. --DD
