Xavier Hanin updated IVY-904:
-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0-RC1)
> support ant properties propagation to ant build with ant-build trigger
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IVY-904
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-904
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Ant
> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
> Reporter: Steve Benigan
>
> An ant-build trigger calls a target in an ant build file but does not
> propogate properties to the ant build.
> ant-call does propogate them - well I'm not sure it's doing anything special
> but b/c it's calling a target within the current ant build they are
> propogated by the nature of ant.
> If possible, some ivy properties should be propogated such as the
> ivy.cache.dir.${settingsRef} properties as well as all of the other
> properties set in the current build due to settings, resolve, etc.
> Otherwise, the ant-build trigger is limited in what it can do based on the
> context in which it was called.
> The workaround is to use ant-call and then within the called target use "ant"
> task to call the desired target in an external ant file. This is not ideal
> since it means this target needs to be in every build file or at least in an
> imported build file.
> PS This may be a Change Request rather than an actual bug.
