Summary: Document behaviour of properties set in target called by
antcall
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Having inherited a legacy build system, I came across strange behavior with an
antcall task. I found that properties set in the target called by the antcall
task were not available at later points in the build. I couldn't understand
this as the documentation states that properties are immutable.
It was only after coming across the antcall ant-contrib task that I understood
the antcall task behavior when it comes to properties set in the called target.
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/antcallback_task.html
The current documentation for <antcall> in the Ant manual makes no reference to
the fact that:
a) A new Ant project is created
b) Any properties set in the target called by <antcall> are cleared after the
target has run.
Can someone please update the <antcall> manual page to reflect this
information?
