With the repository plugin, the use of the parent scope is to 'return' a variable from a tag in a plugin. The use of the system scope is to access system properties.
With the plugin plugin, it's used to read a property file into it's own scope and pass them as a single map back to the parent. These, or something to replace them are necessary. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Blog: http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/ Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 30/06/2003 05:59:52 AM: > Howdy, > > The last hiccup I've run into is the jelly scope test in the touchstone > build.
