I think you want to change the line
<mkdir dir="$(build.dir}"/>
to
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
So after the "$" there is a "{", not a "("...
:)
To answer your more general question, it depends on the developer's
choice. In code you can specify where or not you want property expansion
for your TaskAttribute(s). The default is true, or yes.
BTW. For mkdir and copy those attributes should be set to enable
expansion.
