Bug #: 53141
Summary: Documentation of Property Task (and its Javadoc)
implies that loadFromXML functionality exists since
1.7.1 (it doesn't)
Product: Ant
Version: 1.8.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The documentation for the "property" task contains the following line:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/property.html:
"Since Apache Ant 1.7.1 it is possible to load properties defined in xml
according to Suns DTD, if Java5+ is present. For this the name of the file,
resource or url has to end with .xml"
a) This doesn't seem to be true for 1.7.1 and I could find no indication in the
Property.java source that this was the case.
b) 1.8.1+ versions of Property.java do contain the functionality described
above (see the loadProperties method) but their Javadoc is marked @since 1.7.1
It's possible that I have misunderstood your usage of "since" (in which case:
apologies), but it has been my understanding that it means that the
functionality was present "in that version", not "after that version". Either
way, it's either a mistake or misleading.
